Answer: 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote that moviegoers were female and B denotes that moviegoers were under age 25.

As per given we have,

P(A)=0.56     P(B)=0.26     P(A∩B)=0.17

Using formula ,

[tex]P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\ P(A\cup B)=0.56+0.26-0.17=0.65[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a moviegoer is either female or under age 25 = 0.65
