The probability that a part picked from this batch at random is either red or L-shaped is 0.68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise some rules of probability
The addition rules are:
- P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ⇒ mutually exclusive (events cannot happen at the same time)
- P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) ⇒ non-mutually exclusive (if they have at least one outcome in common)
∵ A batch has 100 parts
∵ 40 are red
- Probability of an event is the [even occurs/total outcomes]
∴ P(red) =
∵ 50 are L-shaped
∴ P(L-shaped) =
∵ 22 are both red and L-shaped
∴ P(red and L-shaped) =
This is non-mutually exclusive because there is a common between them, so we will use the 2nd rule
∵ P(red or L-shaped) = P(red) + P(L-shaped) - P(red and L-shaped)
∴ P(red or L-shaped) = 0.4 + 0.5 - 0.22
∴ P(red or L-shaped) = 0.68
The probability that a part picked from this batch at random is either red or L-shaped is 0.68
