Whilst shopping, the probability that Caroline buys fruit is 0.4. The probability that Caroline independently buys a CD is 0.2. Work out the probability that she buys fruit, a CD or both.

Respuesta :

Answer:

probability that Caroline buy both CD and  fruit = 0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the probability of Caroline buys a fruit P = 0.4

So probability of Caroline does not buy the fruit = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Probability Caroline buys a CD P = 0.2

So probability of Caroline does not buy the CD = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

So probability that Caroline does not buy either buy CD or fruit = 0.8×0.6=0.48

So probability that Caroline buy both CD and  fruit =1-0.48 = 0.52
