Question

Fiona has to choose a bouquet for her wedding. The probability that she uses red roses is 98%, the probability that she uses orchids is 87%, and the probability that she uses Gerber daisies is 94%. Given the probability that she has both roses and orchids is 0.87 and the probability that she has both Gerber daisies and roses is 0.97 what is the probability that her bouquet contains roses or Orchids?

Answer 1

0.84: you would do .82/.98 (the probability of orchids and roses divided by probability of roses)
