Answer:

p =
(11)/(12)

Explanation:

Probability that you make the hockey team only: 2/3 * (1-3/4) = 1/6

Probability that you make the swimming team only: 3/4 * (1-2/3) = 1/4

Probability that you make the both team: 1/2

the probability that you at least make one of the teams: 1/6 + 1/4 + 1/2 = 11/12
