A)0.02

B)0.14

C)0.20

D)0.86

E)None of the above

3.What is the probability that two randomly selected M&Ms will both be orange?

A)(0.2)*(0.8) = 0.16

B)(0.2)+(0.2) = 0.4

C)(0.2)*(0.2) = 0.04

E)0.2

D)None of the above

4.What is the probability that a randomly selected M&M will be either brown or orange?

A)(0.2)-(0.13) = 0.07

B)0.2

C)(0.2)*(0.13) = 0.026

D)(0.2)+(0.13) = 0.33

E)None of the above

5.What is the probability that a randomly selected M&M will not be brown?

A)0.03

B)0.13

C)(0.13)*(0.13) = 0.017

D)1 - 0.13 = 0.87

E)(0.87)-(0.13) = 0.74

F)None of the above

6.The probability that more than 25% of the M&Ms will be brown is the same regardless of whether 10 or 100 M&Ms are randomly selected.

A)True

B)False

7.If two M&Ms are chosen in succession, what is the probability that the first one will be brown and the second one will be blue?

A)(0.13)+(0.24) = 0.37

B)(0.13)*(0.24) = 0.0312
