Answer:

a

  [tex]y' = 0.85 [/tex]

b

 [tex]P(J) = 0.27  [/tex]

c

 [tex]P(R) = 0.0144 [/tex]

d

  [tex]P(R') =  0.7744 [/tex]

e

 [tex]P(Q) =0.2256 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The proportion of M & M's that is  brown is  b =  0.12

   The proportion of M & M's that is  yellow  is  y =  0.15

    The proportion of M & M's that is  red  is  r =  0.12

    The proportion of M & M's that is  blue  is  b =  0.23

    The proportion of M & M's that is  orange  is  o =  0.23

    The proportion of M & M's that is  green  is  g =  0.15

Generally the probability that a random selected M&M is not yellow is  

         [tex]y' =  1-y[/tex]

=>      [tex]y' =  1-0.15[/tex]

=>      [tex]y' = 0.85 [/tex]

Generally the probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M isgreen or red is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(J) =  g +  r [/tex]

=>    [tex]P(J) =  0.15 + 0.12 [/tex]

=>    [tex]P(J) = 0.27  [/tex]

Generally the  probability that two randomly selected peanut M&M’s are both red is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(R) = r^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(R) = 0.12^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(R) = 0.0144 [/tex]

Generally if two  two peanut M&M’s are selected the probability that neither of them are red is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P(R') =  (1 -r)^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(R') =  (1 - 0.12)^2[/tex]

=>   [tex]P(R') =  0.7744 [/tex]

Generally if two  two peanut M&M’s are selected the probability that at least one of them is red is mathematically represented as

        [tex]P(Q) =  1- P(R')[/tex]

=>      [tex]P(Q) =  1- 0.7744 [/tex]

=>      [tex]P(Q) =0.2256 [/tex]
