Answer:
s= the customer buy a shirt
p= the customer buy pants
[tex] p(s) = 0.55, p(p) = 0.25 , p(s \cap p) =0.20[/tex]
And we want to find this probability:
[tex] p(s \cup p) [/tex]
And we can use the definition of total probability and we have:
[tex] p(s \cup p) = p(s) +p(p) -p(s \cap p)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] p(s \cup p) = 0.55+0.25 -0.20 = 0.60[/tex]
And the best answer for this case is:
B. 0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can define the following events:
s= the customer buy a shirt
p= the customer buy pants
And we have the following probabilities given:
[tex] p(s) = 0.55, p(p) = 0.25 , p(s \cap p) =0.20[/tex]
And we want to find this probability:
[tex] p(s \cup p) [/tex]
And we can use the definition of total probability and we have:
[tex] p(s \cup p) = p(s) +p(p) -p(s \cap p)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] p(s \cup p) = 0.55+0.25 -0.20 = 0.60[/tex]
And the best answer for this case is:
B. 0.60
