Answer:
The probability that Joe will be accepted at one and only one university
P(A n B ) = 0.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data the acceptance rate for applicants with similar qualifications is 25% for University A
P(A) = 25% =0.25
The acceptance rate for applicants with similar qualifications is 40% for University B
P(B) = 40% =0.40
<u>Independent events:</u>
let E and F are said to be independent events then
P(E n F ) = P(E ) P(F)
both universities are independent
The probability that Joe will be accepted at one and only one university
P(A n B ) = P(A) P(B) = 0.25 X 0.40 = 0.1
