The expected number of red candy that you will get out of 10 bags is 3 red candies.

How many red candies you would expect to get?

In each bag there are 100 candies, such that there are:

  • 25 blue
  • 30 red
  • 25 green
  • 20 orange.

All the candies have the same probability of being randomly selected, so the probability of getting a red candy is equal to the quotient between the number of red candies in each bag and the total number of candy.

P = 30/100 = 0.3

Then if you draw one candy of each bag of 10 bags, the expected number of red candies that you will have is 10 times the above probability:

N = 10*P = 10*0.3 = 3

3 red candies.
