a box contains 17 large and 16 small marbles
each marble is either green or white
6 large marbles are green, 8 small marbles are white
11 large marbles are white, 3 small marbles are green
-------------------------------------------------
if a marble is selected from the box what is the probability that it is large or green
--------------------
P(large or green) = P(large) + P(green) - P(large and green)
---
= [17+9-6]/33
= 20/33
