Question

Let S be the event that a randomly selected college student has taken a statistics course, and let C be the event that the same student has taken a chemistry course. Suppose P(S) = 0.35, P(C) = 0.25, and P(S ∩ C) = 0.15. Find the probability that a student has taken statistics, chemistry, or both. Round the answer to two decimal places.

Step 1

Step 1: Calculate the probability of a student taking statistics or chemistry, or both using the formula for the union of two events: \[ P(S \cup C) = P(S) + P(C) - P(S \cap C) \] Show more…
