Question

If a police officer pulls over someone for speeding, the police officer can either give a ticket or a warning, so it is impossible for a police officer to give a ticket and a warning for speeding. If the probability that a police officer will give a warning for speeding is 0.03, and the probability that a police officer will give a ticket or a warning for speeding is 0.52, what is the probability that a police officer will give a ticket for speeding

Answer 1

Answer:

0.49

Step-by-step explanation:

P(warning or ticket) = P(warning) + P(ticket) − P(warning and ticket)

0.52 = 0.03 + P(ticket) − 0

P(ticket) = 0.49
