Form the bag we have to choose only one candy. That can be either blue or green, but not both blue and green so
Yes, these outcomes are mutually exclusive because choosing a blue and green M&M is not possible.
Similarly, the one candy we choose can be either yellow or red. Then,
Yes, these outcomes are mutually exclusive because choosing a red and yellow M&M is not possible.

Plain M&M’s candies come in six colors: yellow, red, orange, brown, blue, and green. The makers of M&M’s say that 20% of the produced candies are yellow, 20% are red, 20% are orange, 15% are brown, 15% are blue, and the rest of the produced candies are green. Given what you know about probability and probability models, which one of the following statements is correct? A More than 10% of the produced candies must be green. B If we randomly...

Please explain why and give detail. M&M Candies reports that the plain M&Ms are manufactured with 30% brown, 20% red, 20% yellow, 10% orange, 10% blue, and 10% green candies. Below are 3 graphs. One represents the colors of individual M&Ms for the population of all M&M Candies, one represents the colors in a sample of 20 M&M Candies, and one represents the sampling distribution of the proportion of brown candies in 500 samples of size 50. You should not...
If you draw an M&M candy at random from a bag of the candies, the piece you draw will be one of six colors: brown, red, yellow, green, orange, tan. The probability of drawing each color depends on the proportion of each color among all candies made. Assume the table below gives the probabilities for the color of a randomly chosen M&M. The probability of drawing either a red or a tan candy is _____. Note: Give you answer in...
Amanufacturer of colored candies states that 13% of the candies in a bag should be brown, 14% yellow, 13% red. 24% blue, 20% orange, and 16% green. A student randomly selected a bag of colored candies. He counted the number of candies of each color and obtained the results shown in the table. Test whether the bag of colored candies follows the distribution stated above at the 0.05 level of significance Click the loon to view the table Determine the...
Plain M&M's come in 6 different colors (Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, Red, Brown) and are produced at two different plants. M&M's that come from a plant in Tennessee are supposed to have the following distribution of colors: 20.7% Blue; 20.5% Orange; 19.8% Green; 13.5% Yellow; 13.1% Red and 12.4% Brown. Quality control at the plant is concerned the machine is not working correctly and that it is producing a different distribution of colors. They take a random sample of 940...
The Mars company says, that before the introduction of purple, yellow made up 20% of their plain M&M candies, red made up another 20%, and orange, blue, and green each made up 10%. The rest were brown. Assuming you had an infinite supply of M&M's with the older color distribution, if you picked six M&M's in a row, what is the probability that at least one is yellow?
