GEO Probability Multiplication and Addition Rules

Front

What is the probability of choosing a girl or an A student in a class of 30 students with 17 boys and 13 girls, where 4 boys and 5 girls made an A grade?

Back

P(Girl or A student) = P(Girl) + P(A student) - P(Girl and A student) = 13/30 + 9/30 - 0 = 22/30.
