Total Applicants 696 3722 9813 15112 10459 39802
P(E) = 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
N(500 - 599 or admitted) = N(500 - 599) + N(admitted) - N(500 - 599 and admitted)
= 9813 + 9534 - 1124 = 18223. Thus P(500 - 599 or admitted) = 18223/39802 = 0.46.
