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 one.
A) 5 / 6
B) 2 / 4
C) 1 / 4
D) 1 / 8
E) 1 / 16

Rationale: "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 a ."
Answer: A
