You are given the following probabilities: P(A)=.55 and P(B)=.45 and P(A and B)=.15 Find the following probabilities:

P(A or B)=0.55+0.45-0.15=0.85
P(A and B)^c=

1 answer

To find \( P(A \text{ and } B)^c \), we first recognize that \( P(A \text{ and } B)^c \) is the complement of \( P(A \text{ and } B) \). This means that it represents the probability that either event \( A \) does not occur, event \( B \) does not occur, or both do not occur.

Using the complement rule, we can calculate it as follows:

\[ P(A \text{ and } B) = 0.15 \]

Thus,

\[ P(A \text{ and } B)^c = 1 - P(A \text{ and } B) = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85 \]

So, the probability \( P(A \text{ and } B)^c \) is \( 0.85 \).
