Question 1153165: In a large statistics course, 71% of the students passed the first exam, 70% of the students pass the second exam, and 62% of the students passed both exams.
Find the proportion of students that passed neither exam. Answer by VFBundy(438) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 71% + 70% - 62% = 79%. This is the number of students who passed at least one exam.
If 79% of the students passed at least one exam, this means the remaining 21% of students passed neither exam.
