Amy is taking a statistics class and a biology class. Suppose her probabilities of getting a grade of A+ in statistics course is 0.35, grade of A+ in biology is 0.20 and grade of A+ in both statistics and in biology is 0.10. Find the probability that Amy will get at least one A+ between her statistics and biology classes.
