Nicole bought a bag containing assorted hard candies from the local corner store. They were on clearance and she got a good deal. All the candies are the same size and shape but they are different colors and flavors. There are two blue ones, four red ones, six purple ones, fourteen green ones, and ten orange ones. If the bag is shaken really well to mix the candy in the bag, what is the probability ( as a fraction) that the first candy she pulls out of the bag will not be green?

Answer:

P =
(1)/(2)

Explanation:

2 blue

4 red

6 purple

14 green

There are 26 candies overall.


(2+4+6)/(24) =


(12)/(24) =


(1)/(2)

The probability of her not pulling a green candy is
(1)/(2) chance
