Question

According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M’s, 12% of peanut M&M’s are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are red, 23% are blue, 23% are orange and 15% are green. (Round all answers to 3 places after the decimal point, if necessary.)

(a) Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is not blue.

P(not blue) = 

(b) Compute the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is red or green.

P(red or green) = 

(c) Compute the probability that two randomly selected peanut M&M’s are both yellow.

P(both yellow) = 

(d) If you randomly select six peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that none of them are brown.

P(none are brown) = 

(e) If you randomly select six peanut M&M’s, compute that probability that at least one of them is brown.

P(at least one is brown) = 

(answer each =)
