Eh, here's my best try for a table:

Like tv don't like tv total
Like reading: 70 10 80
Don't like read. 20 30 50
total 90 40 130

The percentage of students that like tv as well as reading is- 70 divided by 130 which gives you .538 which in percentage is 53.8%.

The probability of a student that does not prefer to watch tv as also does not like to spend their time reading is 30 over 40 which can be simplified or reduced to 3 over 4. [30/40 reduced to 3/4]

Hope this somehow helped you :)
