The probability of selecting a red or blue marble can be calculated by adding the probabilities of selecting a red marble and a blue marble separately.
P(red) = 6/16
P(blue) = 4/16
P(red or blue) = P(red) + P(blue) = 6/16 + 4/16 = 10/16 = 5/8
Therefore, the probability of selecting a red or blue marble is five-eighths.
