P(satisfied or junior) = P(satisfied) + P(junior) - P(satisfied and junior)
P(satisfied) = total satisfied / total participants = 235 / 367
P(junior) = total junior / total participants = 96 / 367
P(satisfied and junior) = satisfied and junior / total participants = 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = 235 / 367 + 96 / 367 - 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) ≈ 0.639

If a survey participant is selected at random, what is the probability that he or she is satisfied or a junior?
P(satisfied or junior)=
formula : P(E or F)= P(E)+P(F)-P(E and F)
5 answers
Your answer is wrong. Use the General Addition Rule to find the probability. The rule states that for any two events E and F,
P(E or F)= P(E)+P(F)-P(E and F).
P(E or F)= P(E)+P(F)-P(E and F).
Apologies for the error. Let's use the General Addition Rule to find the probability.
P(satisfied or junior) = P(satisfied) + P(junior) - P(satisfied and junior)
P(satisfied) = total satisfied / total participants = 235 / 367
P(junior) = total junior / total participants = 96 / 367
P(satisfied and junior) = satisfied and junior / total participants = 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = P(satisfied) + P(junior) - P(satisfied and junior)
P(satisfied or junior) = 235 / 367 + 96 / 367 - 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = 329 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) ≈ 0.896
P(satisfied or junior) = P(satisfied) + P(junior) - P(satisfied and junior)
P(satisfied) = total satisfied / total participants = 235 / 367
P(junior) = total junior / total participants = 96 / 367
P(satisfied and junior) = satisfied and junior / total participants = 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = P(satisfied) + P(junior) - P(satisfied and junior)
P(satisfied or junior) = 235 / 367 + 96 / 367 - 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = 329 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) ≈ 0.896
How did you got 329/367 I got 263/367
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate it again:
P(satisfied) = total satisfied / total participants = 235 / 367
P(junior) = total junior / total participants = 96 / 367
P(satisfied and junior) = satisfied and junior / total participants = 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = P(satisfied) + P(junior) - P(satisfied and junior)
P(satisfied or junior) = 235 / 367 + 96 / 367 - 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = 331 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) ≈ 0.9
P(satisfied) = total satisfied / total participants = 235 / 367
P(junior) = total junior / total participants = 96 / 367
P(satisfied and junior) = satisfied and junior / total participants = 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = P(satisfied) + P(junior) - P(satisfied and junior)
P(satisfied or junior) = 235 / 367 + 96 / 367 - 68 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) = 331 / 367
P(satisfied or junior) ≈ 0.9
