Jackson has a bag of skittles and pours them out on a napkin. He counts 6 orange, 9 purple, 4 red and 7 yellow. Jackson places all the skittles back into the bag and selects one skittle with out looking, puts it back and selects another. What is the probability of Jackson choosing a green skittle? What is the probability of choosing a yellow skittle? Give BOTH answers to BOTH green and yellow.
The probability of choosing a green skittle is 0, since there are no green skittles mentioned in the count provided.
The probability of choosing a yellow skittle is 7/26, as there are 7 yellow skittles out of a total of 26 skittles (6 orange + 9 purple + 4 red + 7 yellow).
what abour green
I'm sorry for the oversight. Let me correct it.
Given that there were no green skittles mentioned in the original count, let's assume there are 0 green skittles in the bag. Therefore, the probability of choosing a green skittle would also be 0.
