Answer: a) 0.16, b) 0.058, and c) 0.856.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students = 500

Number of students smoke = 179

Number of students drink alcohol = 228

Number of students eat between meals = 119

Number of students eat between meals and drink alcohol = 59

Number of students eat between meals and smoke = 72

Number of students engage in all three = 30

a) Probability that the student smokes but does not drink alcohol is given by

P(S-A)=P(S)-P(S\cap A)\\\\P(S-A)=\dfrac{179}{500}-\dfrac{99}{500}\\\\P(S-A)=\dfrac{179-99}{500}\\\\P(S-A)=\dfrac{80}{500}\\\\P(S-A)=0.16

b) eats between meals and drink alcohol but does not smoke.

P((M\cap A)-S)=P(M\cap A)-P(M\cap S\cap A)\\\\P((M\cap A)-S)=\dfrac{59}{500}-\dfrac{30}{500}\\\\P((M\cap A)-S)=\dfrac{59-30}{500}\\\\P((M\cap A)-S)=\dfrac{29}{500}\\\\P((M\cap A)-S)=0.058

c) neither smokes nor eats between meals.

P(S'\cap M')=1-P(S\cup M)\\\\P(S'\cap M')=1-\dfrac{72}{500}\\\\P(S'\cap M')=\dfrac{500-72}{500}\\\\P(S'\cap M')=\dfrac{428}{500}=0.856

Hence, a) 0.16, b) 0.058, and c) 0.856.
