Answer 1

What is the probability, as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, of selecting a yellow piece of candy? —> calculate (# of yellow pieces) / (total # of pieces) and round your answer to two decimal places

If there were 200 pieces of candy in the bag, how many green pieces would you estimate are in the bag? —> calculate (# of green pieces)/(total # of pieces) to get the probability of drawing green, then multiply by 200 pieces to get the number of greens per 200. Round to the nearest whole number if needed.
