    statistic probablility
    A local bank reports that 80 percent of its customers maintain a checking account, 60 percent have a savings account, and 50 percent have both. If a customer is chosen at random, what is the probability the customer has either a checking or a savings account? What is the probability the customer does not have either a checking or a savings account?

    I will show you how to do this one, then you can use that knowledge to do the first OK? It is the same type of problem.

    The probability they have a checking OR a savings can be solved by using the formula:



    Just fill in your 'givens'.

    The probability they have none can be found by subtracting the above solution from 1.

    Also, here is a Venn diagram. By adding up the entries in each you should arrive at the same solution as with the formula.
