According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M's, 12% of peanut M&M's are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are red, 23% are blue, 23% are orange and 15% are green. You randomly select six peanut M&M's from an extra-large bag of the candies. What is the probability that exactly two of the six M&M's are orange? What is the probability that two or three of the six M&M's are orange? What is the probability that at most two of the six M&M's are orange?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduce the given information

Note:- Since you have posted a question with multiple subparts we will provide solutions only to the first three subparts as par our Q&A guidelines. Please repost the remaining subparts separately.

(5) Given,

Probability of M&M's are orange = 23%

That is, probability of success, p = 23% = 0.23

Sample size, n = 6

Let X = Number of M&M's are orange.

Using formula (Binomial distribution)

P left parenthesis X equals r right parenthesis equals C presuperscript n subscript r cross times left parenthesis p right parenthesis to the power of r cross times left parenthesis 1 minus p right parenthesis to the power of n minus r end exponent
