a) What is the probability that if you take 15 Sour Patch Kids, 3 will be lime, 1 will be lemon, 2 will be orange, and 4 will be cherry?
b) What is the probability that if you take 14 Sour Patch Kids, 6 will be cherry?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information:

There are 5 flavors: lime, lemon, orange, cherry and berry.

14% of the candies in a bag are lime.

16% of the candies in a bag are lemon.

20% of the candies in a bag are orange.

32% of the candies in a bag are cherry.

18% of the candies in a bag are berry.

That is,

P(lime)=14%=0.14

P(lemon)=16%=0.16

P(orange)=20%=0.20

P(cherry)=32%=0.32

P(berry)=18%=0.18
