Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people

Add up the number of people with each eye - color. $20 + 6+17 + 7=50$.

Step2: Calculate number of people with brown or green eyes

Add the number of people with brown and green eyes. $20 + 6 = 26$.

Step3: Calculate the probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So the probability is $\frac{26}{50}=\frac{13}{25}$.

Answer:

$\frac{13}{25}$
