Suppose there are 10 green, 8 brown, 3 yellow, 8 blue, and 6 red candies in a bag. if you randomly pick out one candy, what is the probability it is red or yellow?

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic and simple way to calculate the probability of an event happening is by using this equation:

Our desired outcomes are picking either red or yellow candies. The number of desired outcomes in this case is the total number of red and yellow candies. 6 red + 3 yellow = 9

Number of desired outcomes = 9

Number of all possible outcomes in this case is the total number of candies in the bag. 10 green + 8 brown + 3 yellow + 8 blue + 6 red = 35

Number of all possible outcomes = 35

Use the formula and we get that the probabbility of drawing out a yellow or red candy is: 9/35, 0.257 or 25.7% (those are 3 different ways to write the probability)
