You can put this solution on YOUR website! The mathematics faculty at a college consists of 8 professors, 11 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 11 instructors. If one faculty member is randomly selected, find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor. ------------------------
 P(prof OR instruct) = P(prof) + P(instruct) = (8+11)/(37) = 0.5135
