The popular candy Skittles comes in 5 colors. According to the Skittles website, the 5 colors are evenly distributed in the population of Skittle candies. So each color makes up 20% of the population. Suppose that we purchase a small bag of Skittles. Assume this size bag always has 40 candies. In this particular bag 10 are green. What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

27.76% probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that , .

In this problem, we have that:

So

What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

Using continuity correction, this is , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9.5. So

has a pvalue of 0.7224

1 - 0.7224 = 0.2776

27.76% probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

hello :

70y^8 + 30y^6 = 2 ( 35 y^8 + 15y^6)

the lenght is : 35 y^8

the width is : 15y^6

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.

the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.

hope that , fam!
