Question

Devin purchases a bag of Candy coated chocolates and discovers that out of 32 total chocolate candies 11 are blue and 10 are orange of devin selects a chocolate candy at random what is the probability that the candy will NOT be blue or orange?

Answer 1

First add together 11 and 10 to get 21, which is the amount of blue and orange candies. Next, subtract this from the total candies (32) to get the amount of candies that are not blue or orange. 32 -21 = 11. This means 11 of the 32 candies are not blue or orange, so the probability is 11/32.
