A bag contains 5 red balls, 5 green balls and 6 white balls. A ball is drawn at
random from the box. What is the probability that the ball drawn is either red or green? Choose the correct choice from the following
A) 2/5	B) 3/5	C) 1/5	D) 7/15	E) 5/8
Total number of balls = (5 + 5 + 6)=

16.   Therefore, n(S)= 16.   Let E1 = event of drawing a red ball.   and E2 = event of drawing a green ball.   Then, E1 n E2 = f.   P (E1 n E2) = P(E1) + P(E2) = (5/16 + 5/16) = 5/8.   ANSW5/8R:5/8
