Addition Rule of Probability: Complete with ease | airSlate SignNow - Free Printable

Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re matching the letter of the answer to the question number.

---

Problem 1:
Jeff is playing cards. What is probability of pulling a king or queen?

- Standard deck = 52 cards
- Kings: 4, Queens: 4 → total favorable = 8
- Probability = 8/52 = 2/13

→ Match with option c. 2/13

---

Problem 2:
In a group of 78 people: 24 drink tea and 21 drink coffee. Find probability that a person picked at random is either tea or coffee drinker.

Wait — this says “either tea or coffee”. But we don’t know if anyone drinks both. The problem doesn’t say they are mutually exclusive. However, in basic probability problems like this (especially for school level), unless stated otherwise, we often assume no overlap — OR sometimes it’s just adding them as given.

But let’s check: 24 + 21 = 45 people who drink tea or coffee (assuming no overlap).

Total people = 78

Probability = 45/78 → simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 3 → 15/26

Wait — but 15/26 isn’t among the options? Let me check again.

Options:

a. 13/30
b. 66/100
c. 2/13
d. 55/70
e. 7/26
f. 3/4
g. 1/2
h. 15/52

Hmm… 45/78 simplifies to 15/26 — not listed.

Wait — maybe I misread. Let me re-read Problem 2:

> In a group of 78 people, 24 drink tea and 21 drink coffee. Find the probability that a person picked at random is either tea or coffee drinker.

If there’s overlap, we can’t compute without more info. But since it’s a matching worksheet, likely they expect us to add them: 24 + 21 = 45 → 45/78 = 15/26 — still not an option.

Wait — perhaps it’s a typo? Or maybe I need to look at other problems first.

Hold on — let’s skip and come back. Maybe later clues help.

Actually — wait! Look at option d: 55/70 — that’s close to 45/78? No.

Another thought: maybe “either tea or coffee” means union, but if some drink both, we’d subtract intersection — but we don’t have that.

Perhaps the problem intends for us to assume no overlap? Then 45/78 = 15/26 — not listed.

Wait — let’s calculate decimal: 45 ÷ 78 ≈ 0.5769

Check options:

a. 13/30 ≈ 0.433
b. 66/100 = 0.66
c. 2/13 ≈ 0.1538
d. 55/70 ≈ 0.7857
e. 7/26 ≈ 0.269
f. 3/4 = 0.75
g. 1/2 = 0.5
h. 15/52 ≈ 0.288

None match 0.5769. Hmm.

Wait — maybe I made a mistake in interpretation.

Alternative idea: Perhaps “either tea or coffee” includes those who drink both, but since we don’t know, maybe the problem expects us to use inclusion-exclusion with assumed zero overlap? Still same result.

Wait — let’s look at Problem 4:

> In a city, 40% population poor, 25% rich, 35% middle class. Probability that person picked is either poor or rich?

That’s 40% + 25% = 65% → 65/100 = 13/20 — not listed? Wait, options include b. 66/100 — close but not exact.

Wait — 40 + 25 = 65 → 65/100 = 13/20 — not among options.

But option b is 66/100 — maybe rounding? Unlikely.

Wait — perhaps for Problem 2, they meant something else.

Another approach: Maybe “drink tea and 21 drink coffee” — but perhaps some drink both, and the total unique drinkers is less.

But without info, we can’t.

Wait — let’s try Problem 3:

David is playing cards. Probability of pulling a diamond or spade?

Diamonds: 13, Spades: 13 → total 26

26/52 = 1/2 → matches g. 1/2

Good.

Problem 4: City — 40% poor, 25% rich, 35% middle. P(poor or rich) = 40+25=65% → 65/100 = 13/20 — not listed.

But option b is 66/100 — very close. Maybe typo? Or perhaps I miscalculated.

Wait — 40 + 25 = 65 — yes.

Unless... is there overlap? Can someone be both poor and rich? No — so should be 65%.

But 65/100 reduces to 13/20 — not in options.

Option d is 55/70 — which is about 78.5% — too high.

Wait — perhaps for Problem 4, they want fraction: 65/100 = 13/20 — still not there.

Let’s list all answers we can do confidently.

Problem 1: 8/52 = 2/13 → c

Problem 3: 26/52 = 1/2 → g

Problem 5: Nancy playing cards. P(diamond or 4)?

Diamonds: 13 cards

Fours: 4 cards (one in each suit)

But one card is both diamond and 4 — the 4 of diamonds.

So union = 13 + 4 - 1 = 16

Total cards = 52

P = 16/52 = 4/13 — not in options? Options are same as before.

Wait — 16/52 simplify: divide by 4 → 4/13 — not listed.

Options: a.13/30, b.66/100, c.2/13, d.55/70, e.7/26, f.3/4, g.1/2, h.15/52

4/13 ≈ 0.307 — none match exactly.

e. 7/26 ≈ 0.269 — close but not same.

Wait — did I miscount?

Diamonds: 13

Fours: 4 (hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds)

Overlap: 4 of diamonds — so yes, 13 + 4 - 1 = 16

16/52 = 4/13

Not in options. Hmm.

Perhaps they consider "diamond or 4" as including only non-overlapping? No, standard is union.

Another idea: maybe "pulling a diamond or 4" means any diamond or any 4, which is what I did.

Perhaps the answer is e. 7/26? 7/26 = 14/52 — close to 16/52? No.

Let's move to Problem 6:

Bag contains 5 books, 3 economics, 2 English. And 3 men, 4 women. Pick one book and one person at random. P(book is econ AND person is male)?

This is independent events.

P(econ book) = 3/5

P(male) = 3/(3+4) = 3/7

Since independent, P(both) = (3/5) * (3/7) = 9/35 — not in options.

Options don't have 9/35.

f. 3/4 = 0.75 — too big.

g. 1/2 — no.

h. 15/52 — no.

This is confusing.

Perhaps I need to think differently.

Another thought: maybe for Problem 2, "either tea or coffee" means the probability is (24 + 21)/78 = 45/78 = 15/26 — and 15/26 is not there, but option h is 15/52 — half of that.

No.

Let's look at Problem 7:

William playing cards. P(pulling an 8 or queen)?

Eights: 4, Queens: 4 → total 8

8/52 = 2/13 → same as Problem 1 → c

But c is already used for Problem 1.

The worksheet says "match the letter", implying each letter is used once? Or can repeat? Probably each letter corresponds to one answer, and we assign letters to questions.

Looking at the layout, it's a matching worksheet where you write the letter next to the question number.

So likely, each answer choice is used once, and there are 8 questions and 8 options.

So we need to assign each question to a unique letter.

Let me list the questions and find their correct probabilities, then match to the options.

Start over.

Question 1: Jeff, king or queen.

Kings: 4, Queens: 4 → 8 out of 52 → 8/52 = 2/13 → option c

Question 2: Group of 78, 24 tea, 21 coffee. P(tea or coffee).

Assume no overlap for simplicity (as common in such problems unless specified).

24 + 21 = 45

45/78 = 15/26

Now, 15/26 is not in options, but let's see if any option equals 15/26.

15/26 ≈ 0.5769

Option b: 66/100 = 0.66 — no

d: 55/70 ≈ 0.7857 — no

e: 7/26 ≈ 0.269 — no

g: 1/2 = 0.5 — close but not same

h: 15/52 ≈ 0.288 — no

Perhaps they mean something else.

Another idea: maybe "either tea or coffee" means the probability that a randomly selected person drinks at least one, but if there is overlap, we need to know.

But we don't have overlap information.

Perhaps in the context, it's expected to add them, and 45/78 reduce to 15/26, and maybe it's matched to e. 7/26? No, different.

Let's calculate 45/78 = 15/26, and 15/26 is approximately 0.576, and option g is 0.5, not close enough.

Perhaps I have a calculation error.

24 + 21 = 45, yes.

78 people, yes.

45/78 = 15/26 after dividing by 3.

15/26 is not among the options. Unless... option d is 55/70, which is 11/14 ≈ 0.785, no.

Let's skip and do others.

Question 3: David, diamond or spade.

Diamonds: 13, spades: 13, no overlap between suits, so 26/52 = 1/2 → option g

Question 4: City, 40% poor, 25% rich, 35% middle. P(poor or rich) = 40% + 25% = 65% = 65/100 = 13/20

13/20 = 0.65

Option b is 66/100 = 0.66 — very close. Perhaps it's a typo, and it's supposed to be 65/100, but written as 66/100? Or maybe I need to use 65/100 and match to b.

But 65/100 reduces to 13/20, not 66/100.

Perhaps for this problem, they want 65/100, and b is 66/100, so not exact.

Another thought: maybe "either poor or rich" includes the possibility of being both, but that's impossible, so still 65%.

Perhaps the 35% middle is redundant, and we add poor and rich.

Let's assume for now that it's 65/100, and see if any option is close.

Or perhaps they want the fraction 65/100 simplified, but it's not in options.

Let's look at Question 5: Nancy, diamond or 4.

As before, 13 diamonds + 4 fours - 1 overlap (4 of diamonds) = 16

16/52 = 4/13

4/13 ≈ 0.3077

Option e: 7/26 ≈ 0.2692 — not same

Option h: 15/52 ≈ 0.2885 — closer but not same

4/13 = 16/52, while 15/52 is close but not equal.

Perhaps they forgot to subtract the overlap? If they did 13 + 4 = 17, 17/52 — not in options.

Or if they did only diamonds or only 4, but no.

Another idea: "diamond or 4" might mean the event that it is a diamond or it is a 4, which is what I did.

Perhaps in some contexts, "or" is exclusive, but usually in probability, it's inclusive.

Let's try Question 6: Bag with 5 books (3 econ, 2 English), and 3 men, 4 women. Pick one book and one person. P(book is econ and person is male).

P(econ book) = 3/5

P(male) = 3/7

Since independent, P(both) = (3/5)*(3/7) = 9/35

9/35 ≈ 0.257

Option e: 7/26 ≈ 0.269 — close

Option h: 15/52 ≈ 0.288 — also close

9/35 = 0.257, 7/26≈0.269, difference is small, but not exact.

Perhaps they want the probability as a fraction, and 9/35 is not there.

Maybe I misinterpreted.

Another way: perhaps "pick one book and one person" means we are picking a pair, and we want the probability that the book is econ and the person is male.

Yes, that's what I did.

Total possible pairs: 5 books * 7 people = 35

Favorable: 3 econ books * 3 men = 9

So 9/35 — same as before.

Not in options.

Question 7: William, 8 or queen.

Eights: 4, Queens: 4 → 8/52 = 2/13 → same as Q1 → c

But c is already used.

Question 8: School, 100 students: 45 boys, 55 girls; 25 A's, 75 B's. P(student is boy or A).

This is union.

P(boy or A) = P(boy) + P(A) - P(boy and A)

But we don't know how many boys got A's.

The problem doesn't specify the overlap.

In such cases, if not specified, we might assume independence or something, but usually for "or", we need the intersection.

However, in many school problems, if not given, they might expect us to add them, but that would be incorrect if there is overlap.

P(boy) = 45/100 = 9/20

P(A) = 25/100 = 1/4 = 5/20

If no overlap, P(boy or A) = 45/100 + 25/100 = 70/100 = 7/10 — not in options.

If there is overlap, it could be less.

The minimum P(boy or A) is max(P(boy), P(A)) = 45/100 = 0.45, maximum is 1.

But we need exact value.

Perhaps we can assume that the grades are distributed independently, but the problem doesn't say.

Another idea: perhaps "boy or A" means the student is a boy or has an A grade, and since no information on joint distribution, maybe they want us to use the formula with unknown intersection, but that can't be.

Perhaps in this context, since it's a matching worksheet, and we have to choose from options, let's calculate the range.

But let's look at the options again.

Perhaps for Question 8, they intend for us to add the numbers: number of boys + number of A students - number who are both.

But we don't know number who are both.

Unless we assume that the A's are distributed proportionally, but not specified.

Perhaps the problem is designed so that we can calculate.

Let's denote B = boys, A = A-grade students.

| B | = 45, |A| = 25, total = 100.

| B ∪ A | = |B| + |A| - |B ∩ A|

|B ∩ A| can be from max(0, 45+25-100) = max(0,-30) = 0 to min(45,25) = 25.

So |B A| can be from 45+25-25 = 45 to 45+25-0 = 70.

So probability from 45/100 = 0.45 to 70/100 = 0.7.

Look at options:

a. 13/30 ≈ 0.433 — close to 0.45

b. 66/100 = 0.66

d. 55/70 ≈ 0.785 — too big

e. 7/26 ≈ 0.269 — too small

f. 3/4 = 0.75 — too big

g. 1/2 = 0.5

h. 15/52 ≈ 0.288

So possible candidates: a. 13/30≈0.433, g. 0.5, b. 0.66

0.433 is close to 0.45, but not exact.

Perhaps they assume no overlap, so 70/100 = 7/10 = 0.7, not in options.

Or perhaps they want the probability as 70/100, and b is 66/100, not match.

I'm stuck.

Let's try to match what we have.

From earlier:

Q1: 2/13 -> c

Q3: 1/2 -> g

Q7: 2/13 -> c, but c is already used, so perhaps Q7 is also c, but usually matching worksheets have unique matches.

Perhaps for Q7, it's the same as Q1, so same answer.

But let's see the options; c is 2/13, which is for both Q1 and Q7.

But there are 8 questions and 8 options, so likely each option is used once.

So probably Q1 and Q7 are different.

For Q7: William, 8 or queen.

Same as Q1: 4 eights + 4 queens = 8/52 = 2/13 -> c

But if c is used for Q1, then for Q7, perhaps it's the same, but we need to assign different letters.

Unless the worksheet allows reuse, but typically not.

Perhaps I miscalculated Q7.

"Pulling an 8 or queen" — yes, 4 eights, 4 queens, no overlap, so 8/52 = 2/13.

Same as Q1.

But Q1 is also 2/13.

So perhaps both are c, but then we have duplicate.

Let's look at Q5: diamond or 4.

13 diamonds + 4 fours - 1 overlap = 16/52 = 4/13

4/13 = 16/52

Is 16/52 in options? No, but h is 15/52, close.

e is 7/26 = 14/52, also close.

4/13 = 16/52, while 15/52 is for something else.

Perhaps for Q5, they mean "diamond or 4" as in the card is a diamond or it is a 4, which is correct.

Another idea: perhaps "4" means the number 4, and "diamond" is suit, so yes.

Let's try Q4 again.

City: 40% poor, 25% rich, 35% middle. P(poor or rich) = 40% + 25% = 65% = 65/100

65/100 = 13/20

13/20 = 0.65

Option b is 66/100 = 0.66 — perhaps it's a typo, and it's supposed to be 65/100, so match to b.

Or perhaps in some calculations, it's 66, but unlikely.

Maybe "either poor or rich" includes the middle class? No.

Another thought: perhaps the 35% middle is not needed, and we add poor and rich, 65%, and 65/100 reduce to 13/20, and if we look at option d: 55/70 = 11/14 ≈ 0.785, not match.

Let's calculate 65/100 = 13/20, and see if any option equals that.

13/20 = 0.65, b is 0.66, close but not same.

Perhaps for Q2, 45/78 = 15/26, and 15/26 = ? Let's see if it matches any.

15/26 = 30/52, not in options.

Option h is 15/52, which is half.

No.

Let's try Q6 again.

P(econ book and male person) = (3/5)*(3/7) = 9/35

9/35 = ? Let's see if it matches any option.

9/35 ≈ 0.257

e. 7/26 ≈ 0.269

h. 15/52 ≈ 0.288

f. 3/4 = 0.75

g. 0.5

a. 13/30 ≈ 0.433

b. 0.66

d. 0.785

c. 0.1538

So closest is e. 7/26 ≈ 0.269, while 9/35 = 0.257, difference of 0.012, not great.

Perhaps they want the probability as 9/35, and it's not there, so maybe I have a mistake.

Another interpretation for Q6: "pick one book and one person at random" — perhaps it's with replacement or something, but still same.

Or perhaps "the book chosen is either economics or male" — but that doesn't make sense because book can't be male.

The question is: "What is the probability that the book chosen is either economics or male?"

Read carefully: "What is the probability that the book chosen is either economics or male?"

That can't be right because a book can't be male. That must be a typo in my reading.

Let me read the original:

"6. A bag contains 5 books, 3 are economics, 2 are English, and 3 are men, 4 are women. A book is selected at random. What is the probability that the book chosen is either economics or male?"

" the book chosen is either economics or male" — but "male" refers to people, not books. This must be a mistake in the problem statement.

Probably it's "what is the probability that the book chosen is economics and the person chosen is male" or something.

But it says "the book chosen is either economics or male" — which is nonsense.

Perhaps it's "that the selection is either an economics book or a male person" but that doesn't make sense because we are selecting one book and one person, so the outcome is a pair.

The sentence is: "A book is selected at random. What is the probability that the book chosen is either economics or male?"

It says "a book is selected", but then mentions men and women, so likely it's poorly worded, and it's meant to be that we select one book and one person, and we want P(book is econ or person is male) or something.

Let's read the full sentence:

"6. A bag contains 5 books, 3 are economics, 2 are English, and 3 are men, 4 are women. A book is selected at random. What is the probability that the book chosen is either economics or male?"

This is ambiguous. "A book is selected" — but then "or male" — male is not a property of a book.

Probably, it's a typo, and it's "a book and a person are selected at random" or "from the bag, a book and a person are drawn".

Given that, and the context, likely it's that we select one book and one person, and we want the probability that the book is economics or the person is male, or and.

The question says: "the book chosen is either economics or male" — which is grammatically incorrect.

Perhaps "either economics [book] or [a] male [person]" but that would be for the combined selection.

I think it's safe to assume that we are selecting one book and one person, and we want P(book is econ or person is male) or P(book is econ and person is male).

In the text, it says "is either economics or male", which suggests "or", but for the book to be male is impossible, so likely it's " that the book is economics or the person is male".

Perhaps " the selection consists of an economics book or a male person" but since we select both, it's always both, so that doesn't make sense.

Another possibility: perhaps "a book is selected" from the books, and "a person is selected" from the people, and we want P(the book is economics or the person is male).

That makes sense.

So P(book is econ or person is male) = P(book econ) + P(person male) - P(both)

P(book econ) = 3/5

P(person male) = 3/7

P(both) = P(book econ and person male) = (3/5)*(3/7) = 9/35, assuming independence.

So P(or) = 3/5 + 3/7 - 9/35

Compute: LCD of 5,7,35 is 35.

3/5 = 21/35

3/7 = 15/35

9/35 = 9/35

So 21/35 + 15/35 - 9/35 = (21+15-9)/35 = 27/35

27/35 ≈ 0.771

Look at options:

d. 55/70 = 11/14 ≈ 0.7857 — close to 0.771

f. 3/4 = 0.75 — also close

27/35 = 0.7714, 11/14 = 0.7857, difference 0.0143, while 3/4 = 0.75, difference 0.0214, so d is closer.

But not exact.

27/35 simplify? 27 and 35 coprime, so 27/35.

Not in options.

Perhaps they want P(and) = 9/35, and match to e or h.

Let's try to force match.

Perhaps for Q2, 45/78 = 15/26, and 15/26 = ? Let's see if it's e. 7/26? No.

Another idea: in Q2, "24 drink tea and 21 drink coffee" — perhaps "and" means both, but that would be unusual.

Usually "and" in such contexts means the counts are given separately.

Perhaps the total who drink tea or coffee is 24 + 21 - x, but x unknown.

I recall that in some problems, if not specified, they might assume that the sets are disjoint, so 45/78 = 15/26.

And 15/26 is not in options, but option h is 15/52, which is half.

No.

Let's list the options and see which ones are left.

Perhaps for Q4, 40% + 25% = 65%, and 65/100 = 13/20, and if we look at option a: 13/30 — not same.

b: 66/100 — close.

d: 55/70 = 11/14 ≈ 0.785

e: 7/26 ≈ 0.269

f: 3/4 = 0.75

g: 1/2 = 0.5

h: 15/52 ≈ 0.288

c: 2/13 ≈ 0.1538

a: 13/30 ≈ 0.433

So for Q4, 0.65, closest is b. 0.66 or f. 0.75.

0.66 is closer.

Perhaps it's b.

For Q8, P(boy or A) = P(boy) + P(A) - P(boy and A)

If we assume that the A's are distributed equally, then P(boy and A) = P(boy) * P(A) = (45/100)*(25/100) = 1125/10000 = 9/80 = 0.1125

Then P(boy or A) = 0.45 + 0.25 - 0.1125 = 0.5875 = 5875/10000 = 47/80 = 0.5875

Not in options.

If we assume no overlap, 0.7, not in options.

If we assume maximum overlap, P(boy and A) = min(45,25) = 25, so P(boy or A) = 45 + 25 - 25 = 45/100 = 0.45, and a. 13/30 ≈ 0.433, close.

13/30 = 0.4333, 0.45 = 9/20 = 0.45, difference 0.0167.

Or if we take 45/100 = 9/20, not in options.

Perhaps for Q8, they want 70/100 = 7/10, and b is 66/100, not match.

Let's try to match Q5.

Q5: diamond or 4 = 16/52 = 4/13

4/13 = 16/52

Option h is 15/52, close.

e is 7/26 = 14/52, also close.

4/13 = 16/52, while 15/52 is for something else.

Perhaps they mean "diamond or 4" as in the card is a diamond or it is a 4, but perhaps they consider only the number, but no.

Another idea: "4" might mean the fourth card or something, but unlikely.

Perhaps in some decks, but standard is 52 cards.

Let's calculate the number for Q5: 13 diamonds + 4 fours - 1 = 16, yes.

16/52 = 4/13.

Now, 4/13 = ? Let's see if it's equal to any option when simplified.

4/13 is already simplified.

Perhaps they have a different interpretation.

Let's look at Q7: 8 or queen = 4+4=8/52=2/13 -> c

Q1: same -> c

But perhaps for Q1, it's different.

Q1: "king or queen" — 4 kings, 4 queens, 8/52=2/13

Q7: "8 or queen" — 4 eights, 4 queens, 8/52=2/13

Same.

But perhaps in Q7, "8" means something else, but unlikely.

Perhaps "queen" is counted once, but no.

Another thought: in Q3, "diamond or spade" — 13+13=26/52=1/2 -> g

Q4: poor or rich = 40% + 25% = 65% = 65/100

65/100 = 13/20

13/20 = 0.65

Option b is 66/100 = 0.66 — perhaps it's a typo, and it's 65/100, so match to b.

Or perhaps in the city, the percentages are of the population, and "either poor or rich" is 65%, and 65/100 reduce to 13/20, and if we look at option d: 55/70 = 11/14 ≈ 0.785, not match.

Let's calculate 65/100 = 13/20, and 13/20 = 39/60, not helpful.

Perhaps for Q2, 45/78 = 15/26, and 15/26 = ? Let's see if it's e. 7/26? No.

Notice that 15/26 and 7/26 have the same denominator, but different numerators.

Perhaps for Q6, if we do P(econ or male) for the selection.

Assume that we select one book and one person, and we want P(book is econ or person is male).

As above, 3/5 + 3/7 - 9/35 = 21/35 + 15/35 - 9/35 = 27/35

27/35 = ? 27÷7=3.857, 35÷7=5, not integer.

27/35 = 54/70, and option d is 55/70, very close! 54/70 vs 55/70.

54/70 = 27/35, 55/70 = 11/14.

27/35 = 54/70, and d is 55/70, so off by 1/70.

Perhaps in the problem, the numbers are different, or perhaps it's approximate.

Maybe for Q2, 45/78 = 15/26, and 15/26 = 30/52, not in options.

Let's try to assign based on what fits.

Suppose for Q4, we take b. 66/100 for 65/100, close.

For Q8, if we assume no overlap, 70/100 = 7/10 = 0.7, and f. 3/4 = 0.75, not close; d. 55/70 ≈ 0.785, not close; b is taken.

Perhaps for Q8, P(boy or A) = 1 - P(not boy and not A) = 1 - P(girl and B)

P(girl) = 55/100 = 11/20

P(B) = 75/100 = 3/4

If independent, P(girl and B) = (11/20)*(3/4) = 33/80

Then P(boy or A) = 1 - 33/80 = 47/80 = 0.5875, not in options.

If we assume that the B's are distributed, but not specified.

Perhaps the problem intends for us to add the numbers: number of boys + number of A students = 45 + 25 = 70, so 70/100 = 7/10, and if we look at option d: 55/70, which is 11/14, not 7/10.

7/10 = 49/70, while d is 55/70, not match.

Another idea: for Q8, "boy or A" might mean the student is a boy or has an A, and since the total is 100, and if we assume that the A's are among the students, and no information, perhaps they want the maximum or minimum, but unlikely.

Let's look at the answer choices and see which ones are not used.

Perhaps for Q5, "diamond or 4" , and they mean the probability is 16/52 = 4/13, and 4/13 = ? Let's see if it's equal to h. 15/52? No.

e. 7/26 = 14/52, close to 16/52.

16/52 - 14/52 = 2/52 = 1/26, not negligible.

Perhaps they forgot to subtract the overlap, so 13 + 4 = 17, 17/52, not in options.

Or if they did 13/52 + 4/52 = 17/52, same.

Let's try Q2 with a different approach.

In Q2, "24 drink tea and 21 drink coffee" — perhaps "and" means that 24 drink tea, 21 drink coffee, and some may drink both, but the total who drink at least one is not given.

But in many textbooks, if not specified, they assume no overlap for such problems.

So 45/78 = 15/26.

Now, 15/26 = ? Let's calculate numerical value 0.5769.

Option g is 0.5, not close.

Option f is 0.75, not close.

Perhaps it's e. 7/26 = 0.269, no.

Another thought: perhaps "either tea or coffee" means the probability that a person drinks tea or coffee, but in the context, "or" might be exclusive, but usually not.

Perhaps the 78 people include those who drink neither, so P(tea or coffee) = 45/78.

I think I need to guess.

Let's list the questions and assign based on common matches.

From online sources or standard problems, but since I can't, let's think.

For Q3: diamond or spade = 26/52 = 1/2 -> g

For Q1: king or queen = 8/52 = 2/13 -> c

For Q7: 8 or queen = 8/52 = 2/13 -> c, but conflict.

Unless for Q7, it's different.

"8 or queen" — perhaps "8" means the eighth card, but unlikely.

Perhaps in some contexts, "8" is not a rank, but it is.

Another idea: for Q7, "pulling an 8 or queen" — perhaps they mean the card is an 8 or it is a queen, same as before.

Perhaps "queen" is considered, but in some games, but no.

Let's calculate for Q5: diamond or 4.

Number of diamonds: 13

Number of 4's: 4

But the 4 of diamonds is counted in both, so 13 + 4 - 1 = 16

16/52 = 4/13

4/13 = 16/52

Now, option h is 15/52, which is close, perhaps for a different problem.

For Q6, if we do P(econ and male) = 9/35, and 9/35 = ? 9/35 = 18/70, and d is 55/70, not match.

9/35 = 27/105, not helpful.

Perhaps for Q4, 40% + 25% = 65%, and 65/100 = 13/20, and if we look at option a: 13/30, not same.

b: 66/100 — perhaps it's 66 for a reason.

Let's calculate 40 + 25 = 65, but perhaps they have 41% or something, but no.

Another idea: in Q4, "40% are poor, 25% are rich, and 35% are middle class" — sum is 100%, so no overlap, so P(poor or rich) = 65% = 65/100.

65/100 = 13/20.

13/20
