Answer:

11/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to know the total number of instructors. This is equal to 7+5+4+3 = 19 instructors.

The probability of selecting a science instructor is 4/19

The probability of selecting a math instructor is 7/19

The probability of selecting either a science or a maths instructor is 4/19 + 7/19 = 11/19
