In 2013 Skittles changed the flavor of green from lime to sour apple (big mistake!!). Mrs. Rowland takes a small handful of 5 Skittles from a bin of 10,000 Skittles and gets ALL GREEN (terrible)! If 20% of the Skittles are green, what is the probability of this happening

0.032% probability of this happening

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution is very large(10,000 skittles), and there are only two possible outcomes(either the Skittles is green or it is not) we can use the binomial probability distribution as an approximation.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

Handful of 5 skittles:

This means that

20% of the Skittles are green

This means that

What is the probability of this happening?

Probability of all skittles being green, so .

0.032% probability of this happening

d. 8

step-by-step explanation:

the given radical expression is:

we can rewrite this as:

we express as square numbers to get;

the exponents will now cancel out to give.

the correct answer is d

exactly you go it
