Explanation / Answer

Probability that car is rented for business reason, P(A) = 0.453

Probability that car is rented for personal reason, P(B) = 0.55

Probability that car is rented for both business and personal reason, P(A and B) = 0.2

(a) Probability that car is rented for either business or personal reason,
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 0.453 + 0.55 - 0.2 = 0.803

(b) Probability that a car is rented neither business nor personal reason = 1 - P(A or B) = 1 - 0.803 = 0.197
