A = prob. of passing Jones' class
B = prob. of passing Smith's class
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)*P(B)
P(A or B) = 0.62 + 0.34 - 0.30
P(A or B) = 0.66

.
The correct solution is as follows:
A = prob. of passing Jones' class
B = prob. of passing Smith's class
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 0.62 + 0.34 - 0.30
P(A or B) = 0.66
