La probabilidad de que Julio salga con Marisol y Carla al mismo tiempo es 0.40
For two events A and B, we have:
Probability that event A or B occurs = Probability that event A occurs + Probability that event B occurs - Probability that both the event A and B occur simultaneously.
This can be written symbolically as:
[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]
Given that;
The probability that Julio goes out with Carla is 0.75, and
the probability that he goes out with Marisol is 0.50.
The probability that he goes out with Carla or Marisol is 0.85
To find:
The probability that he will date both at the same time.
Let we take:
A = event that Julio goes with Carla
B = event that Julio goes with Marisol, then, the given expression is symbolically represented as:
To find: [tex]P(A \cap B)\\[/tex]
Using the addition rule, we get:
[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\\0.85 = 0.75 + 0.50 - P(A \cap B)\\P(A \cap B) = 1.25 - 0.85 = 0.40[/tex]
Thus, the probability that Julio will date Marisol and Carla at the same time is 0.40
