Someone hands you a box of 25 chocolate-covered candies, telling you that 15 are vanilla creams and the rest are peanut butter. You pick candies at random and discover the first 4 you eat are all vanilla. Consider a result to be surprising if there is less than a 5% chance of observing it given your expectations. Complete parts a through c below. a) If there really were 15 vanilla and 10 peanut butter candies in the box, what is the probability that you would have picked 4 vanillas in a row? (Round to three decimal places as needed)
