a bag contains 42 red, 45 green, 20 yellow, and 32 purple candy. you pick one candy at random. find the probability that it is green or yellow. p(green or yellow) = ?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total number of candies
$42 + 45+20 + 32=139$
Step2: Calculate number of green or yellow candies
$45 + 20=65$
Step3: Calculate the probability
$P(\text{green or yellow})=\frac{65}{139}$
Answer:
$\frac{65}{139}$
