Answer:
below
Explanation:
a. To calculate the probability of randomly picking a yellow M&M, we need to consider the total number of M&M's and the number of yellow M&M's.
Total M&M's = 5 (red) + 6 (green) + 3 (blue) + 2 (yellow) = 16
Number of yellow M&M's = 2
Probability of picking a yellow M&M = Number of yellow M&M's / Total M&M's = 2/16 = 1/8
Therefore, the probability of randomly picking a yellow M&M is 1/8.
b. To calculate the probability of randomly picking a blue or green M&M, we need to consider the total number of M&M's and the number of blue and green M&M's.
Total M&M's = 5 (red) + 6 (green) + 3 (blue) + 2 (yellow) = 16
Number of blue M&M's = 3
Number of green M&M's = 6
Total blue and green M&M's = 3 + 6 = 9
Probability of picking a blue or green M&M = Number of blue and green M&M's / Total M&M's = 9/16
Therefore, the probability of randomly picking a blue or green M&M is 9/16.
c. The problem does not provide information about the number of orange M&M's. Therefore, we cannot calculate the probability of picking an orange M&M without this information.
