Answer:

The probability that either Alex or Bryan get an A is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed to answer, we shall be making some important notation;

Let A = event of Alex getting an A

Let B = event of Bryan getting an A

From the question, P(A) = 0.9, P(B) = 0.8 and P(A ∩ B^{c} ) = 0.1

We are to calculate the probability that either Alex or Bryan get an A which can be represented as P(A ∪ B)

We can use the addition theorem here;

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)  .......................(i)

Also,

P(A) = P(A ∩ B^{c} )  +   P(A ∩ B)   .........................(ii)

We can insert ii into i and we have;

P(A ∪ B) =  P(A ∩ B^{c} )  +   P(A ∩ B)  + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) =   P(A ∩ B^{c} ) + P(B) = 0.1 + 0.8 = 0.9

The\ point-slope\ form:\\\\y-y_1=a(x-x_1)\\-------------------\\\\(-2;-6)\to x_1=-2;\ y_1=-6\\\\therefore\\\\y-(-6)=a(x-(-2))\\\\y+6=a(x+2)
