Question

1. the following m & m colors are in a bowl: 4 yellow, 6 orange, 3 green, 5 blue, 2 brown. what is the probability of selecting a blue piece of candy?

$\frac{1}{3}$
$\frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{2}{9}$
$\frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total candies

$4 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 2 = 20$

Step2: Find probability of blue candy

$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of blue candies}}{\text{Total candies}} = \frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$ (corresponding to the last option)
