Question

In an area, the probability of a house having a basement is 0.45. The probability of a house being in a neighborhood having sidewalks is 0.30. The probability of a house both having a basement and being in a neighborhood with sidewalks is 0.21. What is the probability that a house has neither sidewalks nor a basement (meaning it has no basement and it is in a neighborhood with no sidewalks)? [enter as a decimal probability, so like 0.21]

Step 1

- Let \( P(B) \) be the probability of a house having a basement: \( P(B) = 0.45 \). - Let \( P(S) \) be the probability of a house being in a neighborhood with sidewalks: \( P(S) = 0.30 \). - Let \( P(B \cap S) \) be the probability of a house having a basement Show more…
