Question

4. In a certain residential suburb, 60% of all households get Internet service from the local cable company, 80% get television service from that company, and 50% get both services from that company. If a household is randomly selected, what is the probability that it gets at least one of these two services from the company, and what is the probability that it gets exactly one of the services from the company?

Step 1

This can be calculated by adding the probabilities of getting each service and then subtracting the probability of getting both services (since we are double counting those households in the first step). So, the probability of getting at least one service is 60% Show more…
