Question

In a large bag of 100 Skittles®, each of the 5 colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, green) occurs with the same probability. You reach in and select 2 candies.

Find the probability that exactly one of the candies is blue.

Answer 1

Okay so I typed in 0.18 to that it told me that I was wrong and that the answer was 0.32???? Help please?

Answer 2

if you state the given in other words, you are going to safely assume that there are 2 red, 20 orange 20 yellow 20 blue 20 green balls.

Answer 3

20* there is no 2.

Answer 4

you are selecting two candies, but only one can be blue. so that means--> 1 must be blue, 1 must be other thing. first pick up being blue then second not= (20/100)*(80/99) + first pick up not, second pick up blue= (80/100)*(20/99).
