Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected person neither like to watch the news from online platforms nor watch news in the morning is 0.6700

Expanation:

Parameters:

54% like to watch online platform


p\mleft(o\mright)=0.54

45% like to watch news in the morning


p\mleft(n\mright)=0.45

32% like to watch both


p\mleft(o\cup b\mright)=0.32

The probability that a randomly selected person neither like to watch the news from online platforms nor watch news in the morning is:


\begin{gathered} p(o\cap n)=p\mleft(o\mright)+p\mleft(n\mright)-p\mleft(o\cup n\mright) \\ =0.54+0.45-0.32 \\ =0.6700 \end{gathered}
