    Consider: two unopened bags of candy (one Skittles, the other M&M's). The manufacturers state the distribution of coloured candies is: M&M's: 23% blue, 21% orange, 17% green, 13% yellow, 12% red, 14% brown Skittles: colours are reportedly distributed evenly, meaning each colour (red, orange, green, blue, yellow, and purple) has a probability of 1/6. Assume that both of these unopened bags have the same number of candies. If they are opened and mixed, and one candy is randomly selected, what...

    If you draw an M&M candy at random from a bag of the candies, the piece you draw will be one of six colors: brown, red, yellow, green, orange, tan. The probability of drawing each color depends on the proportion of each color among all candies made. Assume the table below gives the probabilities for the color of a randomly chosen M&M. The probability of drawing either a red or a tan candy is _____. Note: Give you answer in...
