We pick up the number of people in either cases :
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " p=(math(male)+math(female)+sci(male)+eng(male))/36=(4+6+5+1)/36=16/36=8/18=4/9
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or we take the sum of people in math and male, less people both, since this would be counted 2 times :
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " p=(math+male-math&male)/36=(10+12-6)/36=16/36
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
