11. Do the problem #11 on page 78 in the Chapter 3 Review questions and exercises
starting on page 76.

PCA 6)= P(A)+ P(6)-P(AñA)
or

and
PC BC or Sm or Buth)
P (BC U Sm) = P(6c)+ P(Sm)- P(ocn Sa)
P(,04 or ,20) = P(co4)+ P (.20)- P(.03) =
and
0,21
So the probability that she
has had' bucst CĂ or smotes
or both is 0.21
