Francis Green · Answer 1

I don't really understand your question. You claim he draws one piece of candy, then ask for the probability of a red gumdrop followed by a cinnamon candy. Regardless, I'll just answer the latter question (Assuming they're not replaced):

3+2+4+1 = 10

3/10 x 1/9 = 0.033333 or 1/30

The answer fir the red gumdrops is 60%. The answer for the cinnamon candy is 20%.
