Jackson has a bag of skittles and pours them out on a napkin. He counts 6 orange, 9 purple, 4 red and 7 yellow. Jackson places all the skittles back into the bag and selects one skittle with out looking, puts it back and selects another. What is the probability of Jackson choosing a green skittle? What is the probability of choosing a yellow skittle?
There are no green skittles mentioned in the count provided. Therefore, the probability of Jackson choosing a green skittle is 0.
There are 7 yellow skittles out of a total of 26 skittles (6 orange + 9 purple + 4 red + 7 yellow). Therefore, the probability of Jackson choosing a yellow skittle is 7/26 or approximately 0.27.

Apologies for the oversight in the previous response. If we assume that there are some green skittles in the bag, we can calculate the probability of Jackson choosing a green skittle.
Let's say there are 3 green skittles in the bag. Now, the total number of skittles is 29 (6 orange + 9 purple + 4 red + 7 yellow + 3 green).
The probability of choosing a green skittle would be 3/29 or approximately 0.10.
So, the probability of Jackson choosing a yellow skittle remains 7/26 or approximately 0.27.
