I don’t know why I never think there’s that many people
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose :
62% own an HDTV
16% own a computer
Using the addition rule : suggests that (62% + 16%) = 78% either own an HDTV or a computer.
The reasoning is wrong because ; since it is possible to own both an HDTV and also own a computer at the same time, the outcome of the addition rule is wrong as both events are independent. If both event cannot occur at the same time (mutually exclusive event) , then, the addition rule may be applied,. But since both can occur independently and each family can own an HDTV while also owning a computer, then the addition rule is wrong for the scenario described.
I don't think that you put parentheses around any numbers because when I solve it with parentheses between numbers I get other numbers like 16 or 17
