Question

The probability that you will make the hockey team is 2/3
The probability that you will make the swimming team is 3/4.
If the probability that you make
both teams is 1/2
what is the probability that you at least make one of the teams?

Answer 1

Answer:

p = $\frac{11}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that you make the hockey team only: 2/3 * (1-3/4) = 1/6

Probability that you make the swimming team only: 3/4 * (1-2/3) = 1/4

Probability that you make the both team: 1/2

the probability that you at least make one of the teams: 1/6 + 1/4 + 1/2 = 11/12
