    0.86 or 86%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The data given represent 41% of people in a certain country like to cook and 68% of people in the country like to shop, while 14% enjoy both activities.

    The probability that a randomly selected person in the country enjoys cooking or shopping or both.

    People who like to cook P (C) = 41% = 0.40

    People who like to shopping P (S) = 68% = 0.60

    People who like cooking and shopping both P (C∩S) = 14% = 0.14

    People who like cooking or shopping or both = P (C∪S)

    = P (C) + P (S) - P (C∩S)

    = 0.40 + 0.60 - 0.14

    = 0.86

    The probability that a randomly selected person in the country enjoys cooking or shopping or both is 0.86 or 86%
