Draw a Venn diagram with two circles. First circle is iced cupcakes, second one is cupcakes with walnuts.
As for the probability:
Let A = "iced", B = "with walnuts". We know N(total), N(A), N(A ⋂ B) and N(¬A ⋂ ¬B). Then, looking at the Venn diagram, we get:
N(B) = N(total) - N(¬A ⋂ ¬B) - N(A) + N(A ⋂ B)
So, the probability is:
P(B) = N(B)/N(total) = 1 - (N(¬A ⋂ ¬B) + N(A) - N(A ⋂ B))/N(total)

what do i do for this part-
N(B) = N(total) - N(¬A ⋂ ¬B) - N(A) + N(A ⋂ B)
Observe it using your Venn diagram.
Not exactly. 16 is the amount corresponding to the whole circle on the left. So, it should be like this.
where did the 9 come from
