Answer 1

To find P(red or blue), we need to first calculate the total number of marbles in the bag, which is 6 (red) + 6 (white) + 4 (blue) = 16 marbles.

Then, we calculate the probability of drawing a red or blue marble:

P(red or blue) = P(red) + P(blue)
P(red or blue) = 6/16 + 4/16
P(red or blue) = 10/16

Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get:

P(red or blue) = 5/8

Therefore, the probability of drawing a red or blue marble from the bag is 5/8.
