Expert Solution
Step 1

A recent survey examined the use of social media platforms. Suppose the survey found that there is a 0.63 probability that a randomly selected person will use Facebook and a 0.28 probability that a randomly selected person will use LinkedIn. In addition, suppose there is a 0.18 probability that a randomly selected person will use both Facebook and LinkedIn.

Here define events 

F = person use a Facebook

L = person use linkedin 

P(F) = 0.63

P(L) = 0.28

P(F and L) = 0.18
