Of 500 athletes surveyed, 300 were male and 20 were left-handed. Only 8 of the left-handed athletes were female. What is the probability that an athlete was male or was left-handed?

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:

3 3 6, because in every triangle the longer side is always shorter than the sum of the other two

the answer is b.6
