Gogol is best known for his use of irony, hyperbole, and absurdity to create humor and a sense of existential weariness. In some of his works, like <em>The Nose, Diary of a Madman, </em>and even in his unfinished novel, <em>Dead Souls, </em>he famously takes advantage of a single element, like a nose that has lost its owner, the royal ravings of an office clerk, or the business behind recollecting dead souls, respectively, and extrapolates this element to make it englobe and define his fictional characters, this then puts the characters in very absurd situations that, even though they cause hilarity, leave the reader with a sense of dread and even horror, the irony being that, though existence be dreadful, it is, nonetheless, comical to a point of absurdity.

Complete question: In a class of students, the following data table summarizes how many students passed a test and complete the homework due the day of the test. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class passed the test or completed the homework?

Passed the test Failed the test Total

Completed the homework 15 2 17

Did not complete the homework 3 7 10

Total 18 9 27

The probability that a person chosen randomly from the class did not complete the homework is 0.7407

The total number of people in this class = 27

Total number of people that passed = 15 + 3 = 18

We have two events

Event 1: A random student passed the test
Event 2: A random student completed the homework

We are to find probability of event 1 or 2

= P(1) +P(2) - P(1 U 2)

P(1) = Probability of those that passed

= $\frac{18}{27}$

P(2) = Probability of those that completed homework

= 15+2 = 17

= $\frac{17}{27}$

P(1 U 2) = student that passed and did completed homework/total

= $\frac{15}{27}$

Probability that a student chosen randomly from the class did not complete the homework

= $\frac{18}{27} +\frac{17}{27} -\frac{15}{27}$

= 0.6667+0.6296-0.5556

= 0.7407
