Question 782900: 92% of college students have laptop computers while 68% have ipod-type stereo devices. If 2% of college students own neither of these types of electronic devices, what is the probability that a student selected at random will own both of the two devices?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Making a Venn diagram helps with this.
100-92=8% don't have lts.
100-68=32% don't have ips
.
8-2=6% don't have lts but have ips.
32-2=30% don't have ips but do have lts.
2% have neither.
6+30+2=38% don't have either a lt or an ip, or don't own both.
100-38=62% will own both of the two devices.
