Explanation:
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:
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.
