A bag consists of 20 marbles, of which 6 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 answers:
A) 7 / 10
B) 2 / 4
C) 1 / 4
D) 1 / 8
E) 1 / 16

Rationale: "bag consists of 20 marbles , of which 6 are blue , 9 are red remainder are white . so , white = 20 - 6 - 9 = 5 . 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 / 20 + 5 / 20 = 14 / 20 = 7 / 10 hence , answer will be a ."
