a) P(snoring) = 0.368

b) P(over age of 30 or snorers) = P(over age of 30) + P(snorers) - P(over age of 30 and snorers)

                                                  = 0.815 + 0.368 - 0.32

                                                  = 0.863

P(30 or younger and did not score) = 1 - P(over age of 30 or snorers)

                                                         = 1 - 0.863

                                                         = 0.137
