Lab 4(b)-Probability
Part 1: Candy contingency table
Objective: In this lab, you will use M&M candies to create a contingency table and explore the concepts of
probability and independence.
●
.
Materials:
● Three different types of M&M bags. One must be plain. The other two you may select.
M&M types are peanut, almond etc.
Purchase M&M types which have an obviously different shape to ensure you are able to sort
them by type after they have been mixed.
The bags you purchase should, preferably, be a sharing size to ensure you have a sufficient
number of M&M's

1. What is the probability of selecting a plain M&M candy?
P (plain M&M) = 23/100
= 0.23= 23%

2. What is the probability of selecting a red M&M candy?
P (selecting red M&M) = 24/ 100
= 0.24 = 24%
What is the probability of selecting a plain M&M candy, given that the candy is orange?

4. Are the events "selecting a Type A M&M candy" and "selecting a blue M&M candy" independent? Explain
why or why not.
5. Are the events "selecting a brown M&M candy" and "selecting an Type B M&M candy" mutually
exclusive? Explain why or why not.
6. What is the probability of selecting a green M&M candy or an plain M&M candy?
7. What is the probability of selecting a Type A M&M candy, given that the candy is not yellow?
