Given that the distribution of colors for plain MM andies is as follows:
Colors - Purple Yellow Red Orange Green Blue Brown
Percentage - 20% 20% 20% 10% 10% 10% 10%
Suppose one candy is taken at random from a large bag of plain MM candies, the probability that the candy is purple of orange is given by:
P(purple candy or orange candy) = P(purple candy) + P(orange candy) = 20% + 10% = 30%
