Question

A person is shopping for a new snowmobile. The probability that someone buys an arctic cat is 39%, a Polaris is 27% and a ski doo is 18%

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that someone buys either an arctic cat or a ski doo=$\frac{57}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A person is shopping for a new snowmobile.

The probability that someone buys an arctic cat is =P(A)=$\frac{39}{100}$,

The probability that someone buys a polaris=P(B)=$\frac{27}{100}$ and

The probability that someone buys a ski doo=P(C)=$\frac{18}{100}$.

Now, The probability that someone buys either an arctic cat or a ski doo=P(AorC)=P(A)+P(C)

=$\frac{39}{100}+\frac{18}{100}$

=$\frac{57}{100}$

Which is the required probability.
