Among 500 freshmen pursuing a business degree at a university, 314 are enrolled in an economics course, 248 are enrolled in a mathematics course, and 147 are enrolled in both an economics and a mathematics course. What is the probability that a freshman selected at random from this group is enrolled in each of the following? (Enter your answers to three decimal places.)
(a) an economics and/or a mathematics course
(b) exactly one of these two courses
(c) neither an economics course nor a mathematics course
(a) an economics and/or a mathematics course
(b) exactly one of these two courses
(c) neither an economics course nor a mathematics course

314+248-147 = total enrolled in one or both = 562-147 = 415
415-147 = exactly one course = 268
500-415 = number enrolled in neither = 85
(a) an economics and/or a mathematics course
p=415/500 = 0.830
(b) exactly one of these two courses
p = 268/500 = 0.536
(c) neither an economics course nor a mathematics course
p=85/500 = 0.170
