"..58% of all families eat turkey at holiday meals, 44% eat ham, and 16% have both turkey and ham to eat at holiday meals."

What is the probability that a family selected at random had only ham without having turkey at their holiday meal?

Could someone explain how to do this? I'm really lost.

Thanks in advance.

Complete this Karnaugh table:

$\begin{tabular}{l | c | c | c} & H & H\, ' & \\ \hline T & 0.16 & & 0.58\\ \hline T\, ' & & & \\ \hline & 0.44 & & 1 \\ \end{tabular}
$

Now answer the question.
