In a group of 147 students, 95 are taking a math class, 73 are taking science and 52 are taking both math and science. One student is selected at random. Find each prbability written as a simplified fraction of the student taking neither math nor science.
-----
# who took neither math nor science:: 147-(95+73-52)] = 147-(168-52)
= 147-(116) = 31
----
P(took neither) = 31/147 = 0.21
