An organization will give a prize to a local artist. the artist will be randomly chosen from among 10 painters, 3 sculptors, and 5 photographers. what is the probability that the artist chosen will be a sculptor or a photographer?

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the possibility that an event will occur or not occur.

Probability = Possible outcome of event/Total outcome

Total outcome = total number of local artist = 10+3+5 = 18

Probability that the artist chosen will be a sculptor = 3/18 (since there are 3 sculptors).

Probability that the artist chosen will be a photographer = 5/18 (since there are 5photogragher)

Probability that the artist chosen will be a sculptor or a photographer will give;

3/18+5/18 = 8/18

= 4/9
