Question

For a certain​ candy, 15​% of the pieces are​ yellow, 5​% are​ red, 20​% are​ blue, 20​% are​ green, and the rest are brown. ​a) if you pick a piece at​ random, what is the probability that it is​ brown? it is yellow or​ blue? it is not​ green? it is​ striped?

Answer 1

P(Brown) = 100 - 15 -5- 20 - 20 = 40%

P(yellow or blue) = 15 + 20 = 35%

P(not green) = 100 - 20 = 80%

P(striped) = 0%
