Question

Your friend brings a large bag of candy to class. In the bag of candy, there are 34 red candies, 47 blue candies, 23 orange candies, 12 yellow candies, 38 green candies, and 87 purple candies. Using this information answer the question below.

A) Before any candies have been taken out of the bag- what is the probability of selecting each of the different types of candies?

P(red candies)=

P(blue candies)=

P(orange candies)=

P( yellow candies)=

P( green candies)=

P( purple candies)=

b. Your friend is going to reach into the bag and remove one candy at a time. Before your friend starts removing candies, you want to calculate the probability of selecting candies, in a specific order? (hint remember, each time a candy is removed from the bag, the total number of candies decreases)

P (red, purple, & green)=

P( red, blue, purple & green)=

P( purple, yellow, red, orange, & purple)=

P(yellow, yellow, purple, purple red, & red)=

P( red, red, green, purple, yellow, red, orange, yellow, & red)=
