Question 361498: Suppose that 51% of the women who gave birth at a certain hospital last year were over years 30 old, and that 51% were unmarried. If 61% of the women were over30 or unmarried (or both), what is the probability that a woman who gave birth at the hospital was both unmarried and over 30 ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose that 51% of the women who gave birth at a certain hospital last year were over years 30 old,
and that 51% were unmarried.
If 61% of the women were over 30 or unmarried (or both), what is the probability that a woman who gave birth at the hospital was both unmarried and over 30 ?
----------------------------------------------
P(>30 and unmarried) = P(>30) + P(unmarried) - P(>30 or unmarried)
= 0.51 + 0.51 - 0.61
= 0.41
