    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Household get Times P (T) = 0.47

    Household get Herald, P (H) = 0.334

    Household get Examiner, P (E) = 0.346

    Household get the Times and Herald, P (T and H) = 0.119

    Household get the Times and Examiner, P (T and E) = 0.151

    Household get the Herald and Examiner, P (H and E) = 0.104

    Household get all three, P (T and H and E) = 0.048

    Now,

    the probability that household get atleast one of the three major

    newspaper

    P (T or H or E)

    = P (T) + P (H) + P (E) - P (T and H) - P (H and E) - P (T and E) + P (T and H and E)

    = 0.47 + 0.334 + 0.346 - 0.119 - 0.151 - 0.104 + 0.048

    = 0.824
