If one student is chosen at random,
Find the probability that the student was male OR got an "C".
Expert Solution

Step 1
The total number of males 27 and the number of student who got a C is 19.
Therefore, the total number of student who is male or got a C is 27 + 19 = 46.
Now, we have to subtract 3 males from 46 for avoiding the double count.
That is, .
Thus, the number of student who got an C is 43.
