For a certain candy, 20% of the pieces are yellow, 15% 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? b) assume you have an infinite supply of these candy pieces from which to draw. if you pick three pieces in a row, what is the probability that they are all brown? the third one is the first one that is red? none are yellow? at least one is green?

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question we are given the percentages of each of the types of candies in the bag except for brown. Since the sum of all the percentages equals 75% and brown is the remaining percent then we can calculate that brown is (100-75 = 25%) 25% of the bag. Now we can show the probabilities of getting a certain type of candy by placing the percentages over the total percentage (100%).

Assuming the ratios/percentages of the candies stay the same having an infinite amount of candy will not affect the probabilities. That being said in order to calculate consecutive probability of getting 3 of a certain type in a row we have to multiply the probabilities together. This is calculated by multiplying the numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators.

1/800 is the right answer
