  1. The Venn diagram shows the probabilities for students at a college taking part in various sports.
    \(A\) represents the event that a student takes part in Athletics.
    \(T\) represents the event that a student takes part in Tennis.
    \(C\) represents the event that a student takes part in Cricket.

The probability that a student selected at random takes part in Athletics or Tennis is 0.75
  1. Find the value of \(p\).
  2. State, giving a reason, whether or not the events \(A\) and \(T\) are statistically independent. Show your working clearly.
  3. Find the probability that a student selected at random does not take part in Athletics or Cricket.
