A bag contains 2 white balls, 6 orange balls and 2 red balls. If a ball is drawn, find the probability that it is a white or red ball.

First, let's calculate the total amount of balls:
[tex]2+6+2=10[/tex]Since there are 2 white balls and 2 red balls, the number of white or red balls is 4.
So the probability is:
[tex]p=\frac{red\text{ or }white}{total}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]Correct option: A
