The probability that an employee at a company eats lunch at the company cafeteria is 0.23.
The probability that an employee is female is 0.52. The probability that an employee eats
lunch at the company cafeteria and is female is 0.11. What is the probability that a
randomly chosen employee either eats at the cafeteria or is a female?
--------
P(eats OR female) = P(eats) + P(female) - P(eats AND female
-----
= 0.23 + 0.52 - 0.11
-----
= 0.64
