Adeline sets her music player to randomly select songs from her collection. She has 9 country songs, 11 jazz songs, 3 rap songs, and 6 pop songs. What is the probability that the next song is a rap song or a pop song?
A. 9/29****
B. 12/29
C. 14/29
D. 15/29
To find the probability that the next song is a rap song or a pop song, we need to determine the total number of rap songs and pop songs in Adeline's collection.
Adeline has 3 rap songs and 6 pop songs, so the total number of rap songs or pop songs is 3 + 6 = 9.
Now, to calculate the probability, we need to divide the number of rap songs or pop songs by the total number of songs in Adeline's collection.
Adeline has a total of 9 + 11 + 3 + 6 = 29 songs.
Therefore, the probability of the next song being a rap song or a pop song is 9/29.
Hence, the correct answer is option A. 9/29.
