Assessment records in a certain school district indicate that 43% of the homes have paved driveways and 8% have fireplaces. The Addition Rule might suggest, then, that 51% of residences have a paved driveway or a fireplace. What is wrong with that reasoning? Choose the correct answer below. OA. The reasoning is correct.
