a. 23% are orange so 0.77 probability not orange.
b. brown or orange is 0.35 probability
c. both green would be (15/100)*14/99=0.0212
d. none is red when 6 chosen
denominator is 100C6, number of ways to choose 6 out of a 100.
88 out of 100 are not red
so 88C6 are ways to pick one of those.
it is 88C6/100C6=0.4546
way 2
88/100 probability first is not red*87/99*86/98*85/97*84/96*83/95=0.4546
e. at least one of them is red is the complement, since it is a dichotomy, and that probability is 0.5454.
