Step 1
The number of persons who have brown eyes is 22+18=40.
The number of persons who have blue eyes is 18+20=38.
Step 2
The total number of males and females who have brown and blue eyes is 22+18+10+18+20+12=100.
The probability that randomly selected student from the class represented in table has brown or blue eyes is obtained as follows:
P(Brown or Blue eyes)=P(Persons who has brown eyes)+P(Person who has blue eyes)
=(N(Persons who have Brown eyes)Total number of eyes+N(Number of persons who have blue eyes)Total number of eyes)
=40100+38100
=78100
=0.78
