Question

Stephen is going to buy a new car. There is a 27% probability that he will pick a red car. There is a 43% chance that his parents will approve of the color he picks. What is the probability he picks red and his parents approve of his new car?

Answer 1

To find the probability that Stephen picks a red car and his parents approve of the color, we need to multiply the probabilities of each event occurring. The probability is 0.1161 or 11.61%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that Stephen picks a red car and his parents approve of the color, we need to multiply the probabilities of each event occuring.

The probability of picking a red car is 27% (or 0.27 in decimal form).

The probability of his parents approving the color is 43% (or 0.43 in decimal form).

To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities: 0.27 * 0.43 = 0.1161 or 11.61%.
