- Yellow or green: 5/29 + 9/29 = 14/29

Explanation:
In this case where the question is asking or <u>OR</u> and the events are <u>mutually exclusive</u> (Mutually exclusive meaning you can't attain two or three different colors in one pick), the compound probability is the sum of the probability of each component event (Probability of Red <u>OR</u> Blue = P(Red) + P(Blue) = 7/29 + 8/29 = 15/29)
