The maker of a candy that comes in the color Blue, Red, White, Green, Pink and Tan. The proportion for Blue is 0.2, Red is 0.3, White is 0.1, Green is 0.2, Pink is 0.1 and Tan is 0.1. A single candy is drawn at random. Find the probability that a candy has the following colors. What is the probability that a candy is green or tan?

Either-or probability is found by adding the individual probabilities.

.1 + .2 = ?

To find the probability that a candy is green or tan, we need to add the individual probabilities of getting a green candy and a tan candy.

Probability of getting a green candy = 0.2
Probability of getting a tan candy = 0.1

Adding these probabilities, we get:
0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3

Therefore, the probability that a candy is green or tan is 0.3 or 30%.

To find the probability that a candy is green or tan, we need to add the individual probabilities of choosing a green candy and a tan candy.

First, let's find the probability of choosing a green candy. We are given that the proportion of green candies is 0.2. This means that out of every 10 candies, 2 will be green.

To find the probability, we divide the number of green candies by the total number of candies:
Probability(Green) = Number of Green Candies / Total Number of Candies

Since the proportion for green candies is 0.2, the probability of choosing a green candy is 0.2.

Next, let's find the probability of choosing a tan candy. We are given that the proportion of tan candies is 0.1. This means that out of every 10 candies, 1 will be tan.

Again, we divide the number of tan candies by the total number of candies to find the probability:
Probability(Tan) = Number of Tan Candies / Total Number of Candies

Since the proportion for tan candies is 0.1, the probability of choosing a tan candy is 0.1.

Now, to find the probability that a candy is green or tan, we simply add the probabilities of choosing a green candy and a tan candy:
Probability(Green or Tan) = Probability(Green) + Probability(Tan) = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3

Therefore, the probability that a candy is green or tan is 0.3.
