- 9 country

- 11 jazz

- 3 rap

- 6 pop

Total: 29 songs

Total rap and pop: 9 songs

Since the question asks for the probability of the next song being rap or pop, it's important to consider the amount of both.

Number of rap/pop compared to total number of songs: 9/29

29 is prime, so the fraction cannot be simplified.

Therefore, the probability that the next song is either rap or pop is 9/29
