First, the probability of a class attendee being a non-member and attending a barre class is


P(Non\cap Barre)=(241)/(2317)

While the probability of class attendee being a member and attending a yoga class is


P(Member\cap Yoga)=(232)/(2317)

Finally, the probability of the first event or the second event is


\begin{gathered} P((Non\cap Barre)\cup(Member\cap Yoga))=P(Non\cap Barre)+P(Member\cap Yoga) \\ =(232+241)/(2317)=(473)/(2317) \end{gathered}

In a decimal expression,


\Rightarrow P((Non\cap Barre)\cup(Member\cap Yoga))=0.204143\ldots\approx0.2041

The answer is 473/2
