1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
0.42 chance eat cake, 0.56 chance eat pie. 0.16 chance eat both.Find probability that you eat exactly one of these two desserts.
2. Relevant equations
? I made a venn diagram
3. The attempt at a solution
I know how to find the probability of at least 1, but I don't understand how to find exactly one. At first I thought it would just be 0.40 + 0.26 =0.66 but I don't think this is right? So basically I just added probability eat cake + probability eat pie but I think this results in the probability or eating one or the other. So help? Please?
