Question

Lily’s sister has a bag of skittles containing 3 yellow skittles, 4 red skittles, 5 green skittles, and 3 orange skittles. What is the probability Edward will NOT pick an orange skittle? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Read a bit so you can understand which one you want.

Percentage

15 skittles, 3 of the 15 are orange.

3 over 15, or 0.2 as a percentage.

So there is a 0.8% chance that he will NOT pick an orange skittle.

Fraction

15 skittles, 3 over 15.

3 over 15 can be 1 over 5.

So there is a 4 over 5 chance that he WONT grab an orange skittle, pretty good odds.
