Question 793907: If I have a bottle of colored vitamins, containing red, orange, and purple vitamins, and I take two vitamins daily, what is the probability that I would get a red or purple vitamin assuming there were equal numbers of all three? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming that there are an infinite amount of pills in the bottle:
Probability of both pills being orange (1/3)^2=1/9
1 - 1/9 = 8/9 the probability that I would get at least one red or purple vitamin assuming there were equal numbers of all three.
