Question

In a group of 70 college students, 24 own only a laptop, 20 own only a desktop, 16 own both a

laptop and a desktop, and 10 own neither a laptop nor a desktop. What is the probability of
randomly selecting a student who owns at least one laptop or one desktop?

Answer 1

85.71% chance of randomly selecting a student who owns at least one laptop or one desktop

Explanation:

Out of a total of 70 students, only 10 own neither a laptop nor a desktop. This means that the probability of selecting a student with at least one of the two is
`(60)/(70)` or
`(6)/(7)`.

If we convert this fraction into a percentage and round to the nearest hundredth, it equals:

85.71%
