In a large bag of candy, each of the 5 colors ( red, orange, yellow, blue, and green) occurs with the same probability. you reach in and select 1 candy. find p( orange or red)

If each color appears with the same probability, then there is a 1/5 chance to pick any color.

Since picking orange and picking red are mutually exclusive (if you pick orange you can't also pick red), then P(orange or red) is just the sum of their two probabilities.

1/5 + 1/5 = 2/5 or 0.4

The correct awnser is 29.76 pounds.
