Probability

A suburban high school has a population of 1376 students. The number of students who participate in sports is 649. The number of students who participate in music is 433. If the probability that a student participates in either sports or music is , what is the probability that a student participates in both sports and music? $\frac{947}{1376}$  

•  $\frac{281017}{1893376}$  

•  $\frac{108}{1376}$  

•  $\frac{429}{1376}$  

•  $\frac{681135}{1893376}$
