Answer:

65%

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the events "drank coffee" and "drank tea" are not mutually exclusive, as there are 10% of employees drank both coffee and tea.

If there are 50% drank coffee and 10% of them enjoy both, then there are 40% of the employees enjoy only coffee.

Similarly, there are 15% of employees who only enjoy tea.

Then the probability of selecting a person who only enjoy tea or coffee is

40% + 15% = 65%

Answer:

No.

0.65 or 65%
