b)What is the chance his first one will match a color in the America flag?

4 answers

A.10 to 54 which simplifies to 5 to 27

B.13 to 54
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
a. 1/10
b. 13/54
10/54
