Let X₁, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X, denote the numbers of blue, brown, green, orange, red, and yellow M&M candies, respectively, in a sample of size n. Then these X;'s have a multinomial distribution. According to the M&M web site, the color proportions are p₁ = 0.24, P₂ = 0.13, P3 = 0.16,p4 = 0.20, p = 0.13, and p = 0.14. If n = 12, what is the probability that there are exactly two M&Ms of each color?
