In a sample bag of M&M's candy there are 5 brown, 6 yellow, 4 blue, 3 green, and 2 orange.
1. What is the probability of getting 1 green M&M if only 1 is taken at a time?
2. What is the probability of getting 3 yellow M&M's if 3 are taken at a time?
3. What is the probability of getting 1 brown and 2 orange M&M's if 3 are taken at a time?
