A bag consists of 30 marbles, of which 5 are blue, 9 are red, and the remainder are white. If Lisa is to select a marble from the bag at random, what is the probability that the marble will be red or white? Choose the correct choice from the following choices:	A) 5/6	B) 2/4	C) 1/4	D) 1/8	E) 1/16
bag consists of 20 marbles, of which 5 are blue, 9 are red   remainder are white. So, white = 30 - 5 - 9=

16.   probability that the marble will be red or white= probability that the marble will be red + probability that the marble will be white   probability that the marble will be red or white = 9/30+16/30 = 25/30 = 5/6   Hence, answer will be 5/6.
