The probability that John wins a game is 4/5, and, independently, the probability that Meghan wins is 9/11. What is the probability that Meghan wins and John loses the game?
Answered by Reiny
prob(John wins) = 4/5 -----> prob(John loses) = 1/5

Since the events do not depend on each other, what do we do with the probabilities in
Prob(Megan winds AND John loses) ??
