Since the Σ( of all colors )= 100%,  OR 1, then:

a) P(GREEN ∪ BLUEU) = P(G) + P(BL) = 8%+6% = 14% or 0.14

Since we have to choose ONE candy and only ONE candy at random, then tey are mutually exclusive: No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible

b) P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = P(Y) + P(R) = 18%+18% = 36% or 0.36
SAME ANSWER AS BEFORE: mutually exclusive

c) P(NOT PURPLE), Let's calculate 1st, the probability of having a PURPLE:
P(PURPLE) = 21% or 0.21
And the Probability of NOT having a PURPLE is 1-0.21 = 0.79

​(c) if the corresponding terms of two arithmetic sequences are​ added, is the resulting sequence​ arithmetic?
Harman [31]

To determine whether the corresponding terms of 2 arithmetic sequence's added will give new arithmetic sequence or not, Let' take 2 Arithmetic sequences.

In one first term is a1 and common difference is d1, in the other first term is a2 and common difference is d2.

Now nth term for first sequence = a1+(n-1) d1

  nth term for second sequence = a2+(n-1) d2

Now add the 2 terms: a1+(n-1)d1 +a2 +(n-1)d2

                                   = a1+a2 + (n-1)(d1+d2)

This is again new arithmetic sequence with first term a1+a2 and common difference d1+d2.

Hence if we add corresponding terms of 2 arithmetic sequence, we will again get an arithmetic sequence.
