Answer: a) There are 42% chances that both units will meet their objectives.

b) There are 88% chances that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the Red unit will successfully meet its objectives = 60% = P(R)

Probability that Blue unit will successfully meet its objectives = 70% = P(B)

Probability that only Red unit will be successful = P(only Red) = 18%

As we know that

P(only\ red)=P(R)-P(R\cap B)\\\\0.18=0.60-P(R\cap B)\\\\0.18-0.60=-P(R\cap B)\\\\-0.42=-P(R\cap B)\\\\P(R\cap B)=42\%

Hence, there are 42% chances that both units will meet their objectives.

the probability that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful is given by

P(R\cup B)=P(R)+P(B)-P(R\cap B)\\\\P(R\cup B)=0.60+0.70-0.42\\\\P(R\cup B)=0.88\\\\P(R\cup B)=88\%

Hence, there are 88% chances that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

P = t - f

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find how many pages in total she needs so 1,000/80 - 12.5 so 13 pages. Then 380/80 4.75 of a page filled so subtract that from 12.5 to get 8 pages left to fill.

let p = pages left to fill

let T = total pages needed

let F = pages already filled
