P(most favorable outcome) = 1 -(0.03 +0.16 -0.01) = 0.82

_____
"repair fails" includes the "infection and failure" case, as does "infection". By adding the probability of "repair fails" and "infection", we count the "infection and failure" case twice. So, we have to subtract the probability of "infection and failure" from the sum of "repaire fails" and "infection" in order to count each bad outcome only once.

The probability of a good outcome is the complement of the probability of a bad outcome.

stiks02 [169]
To determine the cost to fertilize the trees, you need to figure out how many kilograms of fertilizer are needed. With the information given, you can determine The number of grams needed to fertilize 1200 trees. To do this you would multiply 200 times 1200. This equals 240,000 grams. To convert this to kilograms, divide 240000g by 1000 g. Every group of 1000 g is 1 kg. The answer is 240 kilograms. Multiply 240 kg by the price of $2.75 per kilogram to get $660 as the cost.
