Question 618582: Please help me solve this: A school survey shows that 10% of students are in band, 12% of students are in athletics, and 6% of students are in both band and athletics. What is the probability that a student is in band or athletics?

You will use the formula
P( b OR a) = P(b) + P(a) - P(b AND a)
p(b) = probability of band students
p(a) = prob of athletic students
p( b AND a) = prob of both
All values are GIVEN
