Question 1165371: I am really struggling with this one and could use some help.
At a certain non-profit organization,67% of employees are college graduates and 55% of employees have more than ten years of experience. If 48% of the organization's employees both have more than ten years of experience and are college graduates, what is the probability that a randomly selected employee will be either a college graduate or have more than ten years of experience (or both)?

P(EITHER/OR)=P(1)+P(2)-P(BOTH/AND)--the last term deals with double counting.
=67%+55%-48%
P(EITHER/OR)=74%
