Maria made a survey of the students in her class. She found that 60% of the students know how to use one brand of computer, and 40% knew how to use a different brand of computer. She said that because it added up to 100%, it meant that everybody in the class knew how to use a computer.
Explain to Maria why she is right or wrong. If possible, use a diagram.
