1/5 because there are 5 colors one of them being orange and they all have the same probability.

anonymous · Answer

are you looking for the probability of one of those two skittles being orange?

anonymous · Answer

Right, but I'm picking two Skittles so wouldn't it be 2/5? 
Idk, I'm stupid lol.

anonymous · Answer

no, i still think it would be 1/5 or really 2/10 because there are 5 colors and you have the same chance of picking each color.
