Answer:

[tex]P(R\ or\ odd\ Numbered)=5/7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of Red Marble [tex]n_r=6[/tex]

Number of Blue Marble [tex]n_b=8[/tex]

Sample size [tex]n=n_r+n_b[/tex]

[tex]n=6+8[/tex]

[tex]n=14[/tex]

And

No of red or Odd numbered [tex]x= 6+4 = 10[/tex]

Generally the equation for  probability the marble is red or odd numbered. is mathematically given by

[tex]P(R or odd Numbered)=x/n[/tex]

[tex]P(R or odd Numbered)=10/14[/tex]

[tex]P(R\ or\ odd\ Numbered)=5/7[/tex]
