Question 1048824: If you could help with this I would really appreciate it!
A high school with 1000 students offers two AP courses: Statistics and Calculus. There are 150 students in the Calculus class roster, and 250 students in the Statistics class roster. We also know that 80 students enroll in both courses. Find the probability that a randomly selected student takes neither AP course. (Please show work and write the answer in simplest fraction form)
I am extremely grateful for any help, thank you!

P(neither) = %281000+-+%28150%2B250-80%29%29%2F1000 = %281000+-+%28320%29%29%2F1000 = %28680%29%2F1000 = 17/25
