    12/19.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 19 instructors altogether.

    Probability (getting a computer science instructor) = 5/19.

    Probability (getting a mathematics instructor) = 7/19.

    As this a 'compounded or' probability these values are added so the answer is 5/19 + 7/19

    = 12/19.
