Answer:

13/15

Step-by-step explanation:

"Or" in probability means to add. Therefore, we would do 2/3 + 1/5:

First, we need a common denominator: 2/3 + 1/5 → 10/15 + 3/15 (I multiplied the first fraction by 5/5 and the second fraction by 3/3).

Now, we can add the numerators: 10/15 + 3/15 = 13/15.

Hope this helps!
