Answer 1

I can't see the detailed labels in the diagram. Could you either paste the long description (the numbers in each region) or upload the image file?

If you prefer to compute it yourself, use inclusion–exclusion: if S = number who prefer sprinkles and C = number who prefer chocolate, and S∩C = number who prefer both, then

P(sprinkles or chocolate) = (S + C − S∩C) / 100.

Give me the values for S, C, and S∩C (or the region counts) and I’ll give the fraction.
