The probability that santa will come to the mall or your best friend will be there is 90% ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition rules of probability are:

  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ⇒ mutually exclusive (events cannot happen  at the same time)
  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) ⇒ non-mutually exclusive (if they  have at least one outcome in common)

∵ There is a 75% chance that santa will come to the mall that day

∴ P(santa) = 75% = 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75

∵ There is a 55% chance that your best friend will be at the mall

∴ P(friend) = 55% = 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55

∵ There is a 40% chance that your best friend and santa

    will be at the mall

∴ P(friend and santa) = 40% = 40 ÷ 100 = 0.4

To find the probability that santa will come to the mall or your best friend will be there use the non-mutually exclusive addition rule

∵ P(friend or santa) = P(friend) + P(santa) - P(friend and santa)

∴ P(friend or santa) = 0.55 + 0.75 - 0.4

∴ P(friend or santa) = 0.9

- Change it to percentage by multiplying it by 100%

∴ P(friend or santa) = 0.9 × 100% = 90%

The probability that santa will come to the mall or your best friend will be there is 90%

Math help please? There are 12 more toy cars than toy trucks in a box with a total of 38 toy cars and toy trucks. How many toy t
dlinn [17]
Let, the number of toy trucks = x
Then, number of toy cars = (x + 12)

Now, we have: x + x+12 = 38
2x + 12 = 38
2x = 38 - 12
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13

So, there are 13 toy trucks in total.

Hope this helps!
