Answer:  0.317

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the selected household is prosperous and B the event that it is educated.

Given : P(A)=0.138,   P(B)=0.261

P(A and B)=0.082

We know that for any events M and N ,

\text{P(M or N)=P(M)+P(N)-P(M or N)}

Thus , \text{P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A or B)}

\text{P(A or B)}=0.138+0.261-0.082\\\\\Rightarrow\text{ P(A or B)}=0.317

Hence, the probability P(A or B) that the household selected is either prosperous or educated = 0.317
