Problem 1: Suppose all of the Skittles in the class data set are combined into one large
• (b) What is the probability that you select a Skittle that is NOT green? (4 points)
• (c) What is the probability that you select a Skittle that is red OR yellow? (4
points)
• (d) What is the probability that you select a Skittle that is orange GIVEN that it is
b) the probability I selected a skittle that is not green is: 1-0.2023= 0.7977
79.77%
c) the probability that I selected a skittle that is red OR (+) yellow is: 1046+977/5087
2023/5087
d) the probability that I selected a skittle that is orange given that is a secondary color
Problem 2: Suppose you are going to randomly select two Skittles from the bag YOU
purchased.
• (a) What is the probability that both Skittles are purple if you select them with
replacement?
• (b) What is the probability that both Skittles are purple if you select them without
replacement?
• (c) What is the probability that the first skittle is purple and the second skittle is
• (d) What is the probability that at least one Skittle is purple if you select them
with replacement?
My bag of skittles:
total candy: 62
height: 65
red:16
orange:14
yellow:12
green:12
purple:8
a) probability both skittles are purple: 8/62 . 8/62= 0.1290 . 0.1290=0.0166 with
replacement
replacement
(0.8710)=1-0.7586=0.2414
Problem 3: Suppose all of the Skittles in the class data set are combined into one large
bowl and you are going to randomly select ten Skittles with replacement and count
• (a) List the requirements of the binomial probability distribution and show that
• (b) What is the probability that exactly 4 of the 10 Skittles are yellow?
• (c) What is the probability that at most 2 of the 10 Skittles are yellow?
• (d) For samples of size 10, what is the expected value and standard deviation for
p 977(yellow)/5087(total)=0.1921
(10,977/5087,4)=0.7948
d)expected value and standard deviation for yellow: p . 10= 0.1921 . 10= 1.921 mean
