I think the answers 1/5 but I'm not sure if I know how to do it yet c:
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 1 of the candies is green.

Ok well you are selecting 2 times out of 100 skittles, each color having 50 pieces inside the big bag.

The first draw you have 1/5 chance of getting a green one, the second draw is now taking from a bag that doesn't have the candy you just took, with 99 pieces of Candy.

Depending on the color you drew, that color will be less likely to be drawn the next time, having only 19 pieces left in the bag of 99 pieces.
