    a. 0.6

    b. 0.4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's call

    B1: she likes the first book

    B2: she likes the second book

    Then, P (B1) = 0.5, P (B2) = 0.4 and P (B1∩B2) = 0.3

    a. she likes at least one of the books = P (B1∪B2) = P (B1) + P (B2) - P (B1∩B2) = 0.6

    b. she likes neither of the books = she doesn't like at least one of the books = 1 - P (B1∪B2) = 0.4
