Final answer:
The probability that a randomly selected cowboy has saddle sores and bowed legs is 75%.

Explanation:
To find the probability that a randomly selected cowboy has saddle sores and bowed legs,
we can use the formula for calculating the probability of the intersection of two events:

P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)

In this case, P(A) represents the probability of a cowboy having saddle sores, P(B)
represents the probability of a cowboy having bowed legs, and P(A or B) represents the
probability of a cowboy having either saddle sores or bowed legs. We are given that P(A) =
63%, P(B) = 52%, and P(A and B) = 40%.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

P(A and B) = 63% + 52% - 40% = 75%
