Question

A candy company manufactures bags of colorful candies. The company reports that it makes 10% each of green and red candies, and 20% each of yellow, blue, and orange candies. The rest of the candies are brown If you pick a candy at random, what is the probability that it is either red or yellow?

Answer 1

Answer:

30% probability that it is either red or yellow

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

10% of the candies are green

10% of the candies are red

20% of the candies are yellow

20% of the candies are blue

20% of the candies are orange.

The rest is brown. The percentage of brown candies is not important to this problem.

If you pick a candy at random, what is the probability that it is either red or yellow?

10% are red

20% are yellow

10 + 20 = 30%

30% probability that it is either red or yellow
