Answer:

\dfrac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a card is drawn from a hat.

Probability that a red card is drawn, P(red) = \frac{1}{10}

Probability that a blue card is drawn, P(blue) = \frac{1}{5}

Probability that a black card is drawn, P(black) = \frac{1}{20}

Probability that a pink card is drawn, P(pink) = \frac{1}{5}

All these events are mutually exclusive i.e. they do not have anything in common.

For any two events A and B which are mutually exclusive, with probability P(A) and P(B), the probability that any one of the two events occur:

P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)

Here event A can be thought of as drawing a blue card and

event B can be thought of as drawing a black card

So, P(blue or black) = P(blue) + P(black)

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4+1}{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}

So, the probability that a blue or black card is drawn from the hat:

\dfrac{1}{4}
