The probability of passing geography in the examination is 7/10 and the probability of passing agriculture after one has passed geography is 5/7. The probability of passing agriculture after one failed geography is 1/6. Calculate the probability of a student passing agriculture.

1 answer

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.

(.7*5/7) + (.3*1/6) = ?
