The probability a person living in the U.S. has a valid U.S. passport is 0.28. The probability a person living in the U.S. is not a U.S. citizen is 0.12. Assume a person living in the U.S. with a valid U.S. passport is mutually exclusive of the person being a U.S. citizen. What is the probability a person living in the U.S. has a valid U.S. passport and is not a U.S. citizen

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the probability a person living in the U.S. has a valid U.S. passport is 0.28. The probability a person living in the U.S. is not a U.S. citizen is 0.12

Assume a person living in the U.S. with a valid U.S. passport is mutually exclusive of the person being a U.S. citizen.

P(A) = Prob ( a person has a valid US passport) = 0.28

P(B) = Prob (person living is not a US citizen) = 0.12

A and B' are disjoint.

Prob a person living in the U.S. has a valid U.S. passport and is not a U.S. citizen= P(AB) = P(A) -P(AB')

= 0.28-0

=0.28
