Accepted Solution

A:
We know that there is sample of 275 MHS Students 20 are vegetarians        9 eat both fish and eggs        3 eat eggs but not fish        8 eat neither Total 20   In a table:             FISH FISHc TOTAL EGGS     9        3       12 EGGSc   1         7        8 TOTAL    10       10      20   P(F U E) = 9 + 3 + 1 / 20 = 13/20 = 0.65 Or P(F U E) = 10/20 + 12/20 -9/20 = 13/20 = 0.65
