The probability of a teenager owning a motorcycle (M) is 0.37, while the probability of owning a bicycle (B) is 0.81, and the probability of owning both is 0.36. Illustrate the probability that the teenager owns a motorcycle or a bicycle.

Step 1
We can use the formula for the probability of the union of two events: P(M ∪ B) = P(M) + P(B) - P(M ∩ B) We are given the following probabilities: P(M) = 0.37 P(B) = 0.81 P(M ∩ B) = 0.36 Show more…
