.
16 own Macbook only (25-9 who own both)
8 own IPad2 only (17-9 who own both)
9 own both
33 own at least one (sum of above 3 groups)
2 own neither (total-owns at least DISABLED_event_one= 35-33=2)
.
a. owns MacBook DISABLED_event_only= 16/35
b. owns neither MacBook nor IPad2=2/35
c. owns at least DISABLED_event_one= 33/35
