help me solve this problem

OpenStudy (welshfella):

probability of choosing someone on main floor = 12/20 and P(buy program) = 0.40 probabiltiy .. .. ... .. .. ....... baconty = 8/20 ..... ........ = 0.50

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for each line you multiply the individual probabilities then add the 2 results

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Sorry I#ve copieed those incorrectly For main floor Probabilities are 12/20 and 0.50 ( or 50%) balconi is 8/20 and 0.40

OpenStudy (welshfella):

OK?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so you have 12/20 * 0.50 = 0.6 * 0.5 for main floor and 8/20 * 0.40 = 0.40 8 0.40 for balcony

OpenStudy (welshfella):

*).40 * 0.40

OpenStudy (welshfella):

= 0.30 + 0.16

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

ok so it would be 46%
