    Answer: The probability that a particular top executive reads either time or US news and world report regularly is 0.65

    Explanation: Let's say TM represents Time Magazine, NS represents Newsweek, and UW represents U. S news & World report.

    Probability of TM readers (P. TM) = 0.35

    Probability of UW readers (P. UW) = 0.40

    Probability of both TM and UW readers (P. TM ∩ P. UW) = 0.10

    Probability of both TM or UW readers (P. TM ∪ P. UW) = ?

    Given the probability equation of:

    (P. TM ∪ P. UW) = (P. TM) + (P. UW) - (P. TM ∩ P. UW)

    = 0.35 + 0.40 - 0.10

    = 0.65

    Therefore the probability that a particular top executive reads either time or US news and world report regularly is 0.65
