Of 570 people, 365 were male and 368 had brown hair. Of those with brown hair, 108 were female. What is the probability that a person was male or had brown hair? Write your answer as a reduced fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

473/570

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of male = 365

No. of female = 570-365 = 205

No. of male with brown hair = 260

No. of female with brown hair = 108

the probability that a person was male or had brown hair = 365/570+108/570 = 473/570 [ for or case we add probabilities]

Answer 2

Answer:

Around 83%        473/ 570

Step-by-step explanation:

365 males  + 108 females with brown hair = 473

Divide the number of outcomes desired by the total  number of outcomes 473/570   = 0.829824....... = 82.98.....%
