Chapter 18 1. Suppose you roll two six-sided dice. a. What is the probability that the sum of the spots on the two faces is 7? b. What is the probability that the sum of the spots on the two faces is 11? c. What is the probability that the sum of the spots on the two faces is 7 or 11?

2. (18.18) If you draw an M&M candy at random from a bag, the candy you draw will have one of six colors. The probability of drawing each color depends on the proportion of each color within the bag.

a. Here are the probabilities of each color for a randomly chosen bag:

Color- Blue Orange Green Yellow Red Brown Probability- 0.250 0.250 0.125 0.125 0.125 ? What must be the probability of drawing a brown candy?

b. The probabilities for another bag are: Color- Blue Orange Green Yellow Red Brown Probability- 0.207 0.205 0.198 0.135 0.131 ?

What must be the probability of drawing a brown candy for this bag?

c. What is the probability that an M&M from the first bag is blue, orange, or yellow? What is the probability that an M&M from the second bag is one of these colors?
