Question 422103: The question is, What is the probability that a randomly selected student is either a male student or an international student. See chart below for numbers
Female Male
US Resident 435 395
International 57 63

I can solve these when there is only one choice (i.e either male or international) but I'm having a hard time understanding when I have to find two things.
