Explanation / Answer
Solution:
We need to find
P(Customer is not male or does not live with thier parents) = P(Customer is not male) +P(Customer is not living with their parants) -P(Customer is not male and Customer not living with their parants)
P(Customer is not male) = (71+296+134+58+183)/1518 = 742/1518 = 0.4888
P(Customer is not living with their parants) = (288+71+223+296+71+58+117+183)/1518 = 1307/1518 = 0.86100
P(Customer is not male and not live with their parants) = (71+296+58+183)/1518 = 608/1518 = 0.4005
P(Customer is not male or not liing with their parents) = (742+1307-608)/1518 = 1441/1518 = 0.9492
So there is 94.92% probability that a customer is not male or does not live with their parents.
Or we can calculate as
P(Customer is not male or not liing with their parents) =1-P(Cutomer is male and living with their parents) = 1 - (77/1518) = 0.9492 or 94.92%
