How many fish were caught all together?
Of this total, what number were bass?  What number were walleye?
Using this info, calculate the probabilities P(bass) and P(walleye).
Then, calculate the JOINT probability P(bass OR walleye).  Hint:  use addition.

camerondoherty · Answer

Add up all of the values
32 + 21 + 14 + 12 = ?
When you solve that the sum will be your denominator
Now add up bass and walleye
14 + 12 = ?
The sum of that will be your numerator
Then simplify it
