what is the probability of selecting a number less then 16 or a number written in red? find the probability of a number written in blue of multiple of 5

Or probabilities are the sum minus double counting.
Probability <16 =0.15
Probability of red =0.5
Double counting is 0.16
Probability is 0.50, same as selecting one that is red.
Second part is ambiguous. Here are possible solutions:
Blue is 0.5
Blue or multiple of 5 is 0.50 and 0.10 from others not blue that are divisible by 5 =0.60
Blue and multiple of 5 is 0.10
