Answer:
Total number of students in the class =100
∴ n(S)=100
Let A be the event that students like Mathematics
∴ n(A)=70
∴ P(A)=
100
70
Let B be the event that students like Science
∴ n(B)=40
∴ P(B)=
100
40
A∩B is the event when students like both Mathematics and Science
∴ n(A∩B)=15
∴ P(A∩B)=
100
15
To find the probability that the student likes Mathematics or Science
P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)
=
