Question 342456: Hi I need this one asap if possible! Thanks so much!!!
A mathematics class is composed of 35 men and 45 women. There are 20 business majors, 30 biology majors, 10 computer science majors and 20 mathematics majors. No person has a double major. If a single student is chosen from the class, what is the probability that the student is a computer science or mathematics major?

--------------------
# of cs or math majors: 10+20 = 30
---
Total # in the math class: 35+45 = 80
---------------------
P(cs or math major) = 3/8
