A gym has 80 members.
47 members use the treadmill (T).
39 members use the weights (W).
21 members use both the treadmill and the weights.
Complete the Venn diagram to show the number of members in each region.
One of the 80 members is chosen at random. Work out the probability that this member uses neither the treadmill nor the weights.

There are 40 students in a year group.
The Venn diagram for drama (D) and music (M) shows:
D only: 10 D ∩ M: 8 M only: 12 neither: 10
Two of the students who do music are chosen at random, without replacement.
Work out the probability that both of these students also do drama.
