    Step-by-step explanation:

    No of total brown = 2 + 1 = 3.

    probability = 3 / 6

    = 1 / 2.

    no of males = 2

    probability

    = 2 / 6

    = 1 / 3

    no of person who is both male and brown = 1

    probability = 1 / 6

    Required probability

    = probability of being brown + probability of being male - probability of being both

    = 1 / 2 + 1 / 3 - 1 / 6

    = 4 / 6

    = 2 / 3.
