.10/.20?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

'Or' means P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

The probabilities are already given. Just sum up all the cases where it's red or no smile

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

wait but this one says "and" why do they use that formula.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

They made some mistakes with the symbols

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

wdym

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

ohhh nvm its correct

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Their work was right but some wrong symbols

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

show me what is wrong some are supposed to be U?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

See the pic above

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so like that?? since its not mutually exclusive

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Exactly

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay. p(a)=.10 p(b)=.20

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No... No smile is an entire row. Red is a column.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

A=.30 B=.5

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

And you need P(A and B)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

how do i find that??

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

in the table... P(red and no smile)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

0.20

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

0.30+0.50-0.20=0.60

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so its A, correct?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

yes, 0.6
