Answer: 400
Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) We need: P(female or living in territory B) = P(Female) + P(Living in territory B) - P(female and living in territory B) Given: - Total drivers = 300 male + 200 female = 500 - Female drivers = 200 - Drivers in territory B = Total drivers - drivers in territory A = 500 - (100 male + 100 female) = 500 - 200 = 300 - Female drivers in territory B = Total female drivers - female drivers in territory A = 200 - 100 = 100 Calculation: P(female or living in territory B) = (200/500) + (300/500) - (100/500) = 400/500 Number of drivers = (400/500) × 500 = 400 Therefore, 400 drivers are either female or live in territory B.
