Detailed explanation-1: -According to Mars Corporation, 24% of all M&Ms produced are blue, 20% are orange, 16% are green, 14% are yellow, 13% are brown, and 13% are red. Suppose you purchase a randomly selected bag of M&M’s Plain Chocolate Candies and randomly select one of the M&M’s from the bag.
Detailed explanation-2: -The probability is found by creating a ratio. (Do you remember what this is?) The number of M&M’s in a color is placed in the numerator, the total number of M&M’s is placed in the denominator. (Example, If there are 6 red M&M’s and 54 total M&M’s, the probability of picking a red M&M is 6/54.)
Detailed explanation-3: -30% brown, 20% yellow, 20% red, 10% orange, 10% green, and 10% blue. Statistician and educators rejoice and publish many papers on the topic.
