Answer: 20/27

Step-by-step explanation:

So it is non- mutually exclusive;

Let B for the boys and H for the blond hair.

P(B) = 15/27; P(H) 11/27; P(B and H) = 6/27

Then, we have,

P(B or H) = 15/27 + 11/27 - 6/27

P(B or H) = 20/27 

Therefore,  the probability of selecting a boy or a blond-haired person is 20/27.
