There are 9+3=129+3=12 marbles.

There are 99 red marbles. There is one blue even-numbered marble (numbered 2).

So there are 9+19+1 favorable outcomes and there are 12 total outcomes.

Then he probability that the marble is red or even-numbered is


P(Reven)=9+19+3=56P(R\cup even)=\dfrac{9+1}{9+3}=\dfrac{5}{6}
