Number of browns: Nb=10
Total number of M&M : N=11+8+13+7+10+5
Probability of picking a brown = Nb/N
Similar for the colours in the American flag:
Total number of blue & red: Nf=5+8
Probability : Nf/N
Total number of M&M : N=11+8+13+7+10+5
Probability of picking a brown = Nb/N
Similar for the colours in the American flag:
Total number of blue & red: Nf=5+8
Probability : Nf/N
