Question 611983
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Yes, that is right, but there is a simpler way to get the answer.  Look at the complement of your successful outcome.  If your successful outcome is C++ or Statistics, then the complement is neither C++ nor Statistics.  The only group that fits the complement set is the half of the Java students who are NOT taking Stat.  That is 5/30 and 1 - 5/30 = 25/30.  N'est-ce pas?
