ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 2
We have to find the probability of having 2 of each colour, when in a sample of 12 M&M’s
Given that the proportion of brown M&M’s is 13% then
The proportion of red M&M’s is 13% then
The proportion of yellow M&M’s is 14% then
The proportion of green M&M’s is 16% then
The proportion of orange M&M’s is 20% then
The proportion of blue M&M’s is 24% then
Here each colour is repeated twice then
Here a sample of 12 M&M’s
