Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculating the number of individuals in either subset without double counting

To avoid double counting individuals in both subsets, we use the formula: $$A + B - AB$$ Substituting the given values, we get: $$A + B - AB = 18 + 14 - 6 = 26$$

Step 2: Calculating the probability

The probability that a randomly selected individual belongs to at least one of the two subsets is given by: $$P = \frac{A + B - AB}{N}$$ Substituting the values, we get: $$P = \frac{A + B - AB}{N} = \frac{26}{40} = 0.65$$

Final Answer:

The probability is 0.65.
