a bag of hard candies has 6 cherry-flavored candies, 5 lime-flavored candies, 8 apple-flavored candies and 10 strawberry-flavored candies. the cherry and strawberry candies are both shades of red and the lime and apple candies are both shades of green. suppose four candies are randomly selected from the bag. Assume that the individual candies are what matter (not the type). (a) find the probability of selecting four candies of the same color. (b) find the probability of selecting a least one apple-flavored candy.
