Question

Pizza Time has collected data about customer pizza topping preferences. They have calculated that P(pepperoni) = 0.7, P(olives) = 0.6, and P(pepperoni or olives) = 0.8. Determine the P(pepperoni and olives).

Answer 1

We are given with the probabilities P(pepperoni) = 0.7, P(olives) = 0.6, and P(pepperoni or olives) = 0.8. in this case, we are asked to determine  P(pepperoni and olives) that is determined from P(pepperoni) + P(olives) - P(pepperoni or olives) equal then to 0.7 + 0.6 - 0.8 equal to 0.5
