Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (yellow or orange pieces) by the total number of pieces. There are 10 yellow and 10 orange pieces, making 20 favorable outcomes out of a total of 100 pieces. Thus, the probability is 20/100 = 0.20.
