Number(AorBorC)= Number(A) + Number(B) + Number(C) - Number(AandB) - Number(AandC) - Number (BandC) + Number(AandBandC)
= 94 + 86 + 95 - 37 - 43 - 42 + 8
= 161
Prob of (as stated) = 8/161
You could also find the total by using Venn diagrams
At rosemead high school, 94 students take biology, 86 take ethnic studies, and 95 take geometry. thirty-seven students take both biology and geometry, 43 take geometry and ethnic studies, and 42 take ethnic studies and biology. twenty eight students take all three subjects.
