Question

Mama's Italian Restaurant has collected data about customer sauce orders. It calculated that P(marinara) = 0.82, P(alfredo) = 0.76, and P(marinara or alfredo) = 0.96. Determine the P(marinara and alfredo).

Answer 1

For my flvs students the answer is 0.62

Explanation:

I just took the test

Answer 2

P ( m ) = 0.82
P ( a ) = 0.76
P ( m or a ) = 0.96
P ( m and a ) = ?
--------------------------
P ( m or a ) = P ( m ) + P ( a ) - P ( m and a )
P ( m and a ) = P ( m ) + P ( a ) - P ( m or a ) =
= 0.82 + 0.76 - 0.96 = 0.62
Answer: P ( marinara and alfredo ) = 0.62
