A local high school only has two sports teams with a total of 297 students on sports teams: a basketball team and a baseball team. There are 106 students on the baseball team, 134 students on the basketball team, and 57 students are on both the basketball team and the baseball team. Find the probability a randomly chosen student athlete is on the baseball team or on the basketball team. Please round your answer to two decimal places.
Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Let us denote :
A=base ball team
B=basketball team
Given that n(A)=106, n(B)=134, n(A and B)=57
We have to find P(A or B)=?
