    11/14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly, to solve this problem, what we do is to know the number of multiples of 2 and the numbers of multiples of 3 between 1 and 14.

    For 2, we have; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14

    For 3, we have: 3,6,9 and 12

    The probability of the result being a multiple of 2 is 7/14 = 1/2

    The probability of the result being a multiple of 3 is 4/14 = 2/7

    The probability of the result being a multiple of 2 or 3 is simply calculated by adding both probabilities: 2/7 + 1/2 = 11/14
