Answer: 6

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 24 people total and 18 of them study at least one subject. So that must mean 24 - 18 = 6 people do not study any of the subjects mentioned.

The values of 10 and 15 aren't used at all.

Answer:

n = 24

p(a) = 10/24

p(b) = 15/24

[ p(a) + p(b) - [p(a) ×p(b)] ] -1 = answer

[ 35/24 - 6/24 ] -1 = 39/24 - 24/24 = 5/24
