In a large bag of candy, each of the 5 colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, and green) occurs with the same probability. You reach in and select 2 candies. Find the probability that both candies are orange. A) 0.2 B) 0.1 C) 0.04 D) 0.4

OpenStudy (allank):

squaring the probability of getting an orange candy should be the answer

OpenStudy (allank):

so the probability of getting an orange one = 1/5 thus (1/5)^2

OpenStudy (allank):

hmm...though 0.04 is not in the choices...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D is the closest. I think. o_e

OpenStudy (allank):

Well, if the paper isn't being marked electronically, I'd rather give 0.04 and the teacher will give you full credit :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you. :)

You're welcome ;)
