the results are shown in the table below.
...... EMPLOYED UNEMPLOYED TOTAL
MALE ..34..........58..........92
FEMALE..62.........16..........78
TOTAL..96..........74..........170
what is the probability that a randomly selected graduate is a female or is employed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    P(is a female OR is employed) = P(is a female) + P(is employed) - P(is a female AND is employed) = 


        = %2878%2F170+%2B+96%2F170+-+62%2F170%29 = 112%2F170 = 0.66 (rounded), or 66%.    ANSWER

Solved.
