Follow-up Question

For the same chart above>>Find the probability that a randomly selected person was a crew member or did not survive. 

I did p(A)+p(B) which gave me 1.08, rounded to two decimal places. Is that correct? I am not sure I understand the chapter explanation for two disjointed events.
