Question 9
9.

When picking 3 Skittles, find the probability that you will pick no yellow.
P(No Yellow, No Yellow, No Yellow)=

Round to three places past the decimal point before turning into a percent.

Question 10
10.

When picking 3 Skittles, find the probability that you will pick all orange Skittles.
P(Orange, Orange, Orange)=

Round to three places past the decimal point before turning into a percent.

Question 11
11.

What is the probability that you will not get a green Skittle until the third one selected?
P(not green, not green, green)=

Question 13
13.

When picking 4 Skittles, find the probability that you will pick at least one that is red.

You already calculated P('none red in 4') in #12.

Round to four places past the decimal point before turning into a percent.
