Answer:

  • <u>17/28</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Call A the event of selecting a student who takes Spanish and P(A) the corresponding probability:</u>

  • P(A) = number of students who take Spanish / number of students

  • P(A) = 550 / 1400 = 11/28

<u>2. Call B the event of selecting a student who takes biology and P(B) the corresponding probability:</u>

  • P(B) = number of students who take biology / number of students

  • P(B) = 700 / 1,400 = 1/2

<u></u>

<u>3. The joint probability, P(A∩B), is the probability that a student takes Spanish and biology:</u>

  • P(A∩B) = number of students that take both Spanish and biology / number of students

  • P(A∩B) = 400/1400 = 2/7

<u>4. By the properties of probabilities, the probability of the event A or B is:</u>

  • P (A or B) = P (A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

  • P(A or B) = 11/28 + 1/2 - 2/7 = (11 + 14 - 8) / 28 = 17/28
