A diner has collected data about customer coffee-drinking habits. They have calculated that P(cream) = 0.5, P(sugar) = 0.6, and P(cream or sugar) = 0.7. Determine the P(cream and sugar).

Respuesta :

Answer: P( Cream and Sugar) = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

P(Cream)=0.5

P(Sugar)=0.6

P(Cream or Sugar)=0.7

As we know the " Probability Rules" so, we get,

[tex]P(Cream\ and\ Sugar)=P(Cream)+P(Sugar)-P(Cream\ or\ Sugar)\\\\P(C\cap S)=P(C)+P(S)-P(C\cup S)\\\\P(C\cap S)=0.5+0.6-0.7\\\\P(C\cap S)=1.1-0.7\\\\P(C\cap S)=0.4[/tex]

So, P( Cream and Sugar) = 0.4

The value of P(cream and sugar) is 0.4.

Given

A diner has collected data about customer coffee-drinking habits.

They have calculated that P(cream) = 0.5, P(sugar) = 0.6, and P(cream or sugar) = 0.7.

What is a non mutually exclusive probability?

Two sets are non-mutually exclusive if they share common elements.

The formula is used to find non mutually exclusive probability is;

[tex]\rm P(A\ or \ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \ and\ B)[/tex]

Substitute all the values in the formula;

[tex]\rm P(cream\ or \ sugar) = P(cream) + P(sugar) - P(cream \ and \ sugar)\\\\0.7 = 0.5 + 0.6 - P(cream \ and \ sugar)\\\\ P(cream \ and \ sugar)= 1.1-0.7\\\\ P(cream \ and \ sugar)=0.4[/tex]

Hence, the value of P(cream and sugar) is 0.4.
