Answer:

Probability of randomly selecting a tree or an insect = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of flashcards, n(Total) = 30

Number of insects, n(Insects) = 10

Number of trees, n(Trees) = 8

Probability of randomly selecting a tree, P(tree) = 8/30

Probability of randomly selecting an insect, P(insect) = 10/30

Probability of randomly selecting a tree or an insect = P(tree) + P(insect)

Probability of randomly selecting a tree or an insect = 8/30 + 10/30

Probability of randomly selecting a tree or an insect = 18/30

Probability of randomly selecting a tree or an insect = 3/5
