Answer:

P(cream and sugar) = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the meaning of or , and on probability

- The use of the word or means that you are calculating the probability

 that either event A or event B happened

-  Both events do not have to happen

- The use the word and, means that both event A and B have to happen

* The addition rules 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)

- The union is written as A∪B or “A or B”.

- The intersection is written as A∩B or “A and B”

* Lets solve the question

∵ P(cream) = 0.5

∵ P(sugar) = 0.6

∵ P(cream or sugar) = 0.7

- To find P(cream and sugar) lets use the rule of non-mutually exclusive

∵ P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

∴ P(cream or sugar) = P(cream) + P(sugar) - P(cream and sugar)

- Lets substitute the values of P(cream) , P(sugar) , P(cream or sugar)

 in the rule

∵ 0.7 = 0.5 + 0.6 - P(cream and sugar) ⇒ add the like terms

∴ 0.7 = 1.1 - P(cream and sugar) ⇒ subtract 1.1 from both sides

∴ 0.7 - 1.1 = - P(cream and sugar)

∴ - 0.4 = - P(cream and sugar) ⇒ multiply both sides by -1

∴ 0.4 = P(cream and sugar)

* P(cream and sugar) = 0.4

Find the area of the shape shown below.<br>​
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

First ignore the cut corner and pretend that it is just a rectangle.

The rectangle's area would be 2×4=8.

Then find out the cut corner's area.

The area of that triangle would be 1.

8-1=7 So the area of the shape is 7.
