N a typical 2-pound bag of M&Ms contains 500 individual pieces, of which... 120 are blue, 70 are brown, 80 are green, 100 are orange, 60 are red, and 70 are yellow. If I randomly select one M&M candy from the bag, what is the probability that candy will be red?

0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red candies = 60

Total number of candies = 500

Recall :

Probability of event A = number of occurrences of A / total number of occurences

= required outcome / Total possible outcomes

The probability of randomly selecting a red candy is :

= number of red candies / total number of candies

= 60 / 500

= 0.12

32
