Answer:

0.09 = 9% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question treating the events as Venn probabilities.

I am going to say that:

Event A: A student is proficient in reading.

Event B: A student is proficient in mathematics.

A total of 82% of the students were found to be proficient in reading

This means that P(A) = 0.82

74% were found to be proficient in mathematics

This means that P(B) = 0.74

65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.65

What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics?

This is:

P = 1 - P(A \cup B)

In which

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

With the values that we have:

P(A \cup B) = 0.82 + 0.74 - 0.65 = 0.91

Then

P = 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - 0.91 = 0.09

0.09 = 9% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics
