Among students 70% own a car, 50% own a bike and 40% own both.
(a) Find a probability that a randomly chosen student owns at least one of the above vehicles.
P(car) = 0.7 ; P(bike) = 0.5 ; p(car and bike) = 0.4
---
P(car OR bike) = 0.7 + 0.5 - 0.4 = 0.8
----
(b) What is a probability that a randomly chosen student does not own a bike?
P(not bike) = 0.5
