Can the words OR/AND be used in a simple probability problem? Why or why not?
No, because the words OR/AND indicate a compound problem, not a simple probability problem.

If there is a bag that has 3 red balloons, 12 blue, and 28 green, theoretically, which balloon would you least expect to pull out and why?
 The red balloon because it is the least amount of a color in the bag of balloons compared to the blue and green balloons.
