Question

Professor Jackson is in charge of a program to prepare students for high school equivalency exam. Records show that, in the program, 80% of the students need work in math, 70% need work in English, and 55% need work in both areas. One person is to be randomly selected from this population of all students in the program. The probability that the selected person needs help in English and Math is? 

Answer 1

Based on your question, since it's given that 55% need work in both you just need to convert 55% into a probability.
