Question

The probability that you see a butterfly during nature center tour is 80%. The probability that you see a turtle is 40%. What is the probability of you seeing both?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Assumming that B represent the probability of see a Butterfly and that T represent the probability of see a Turtle, we can apply the following reasonings:

P(B) = 0.8

P(T) = 0.4

As both events are independent, we can apply the following relationships:

P(B∩T) = P(B).P(T) = 0.8*0.4 = 0.32

Hence, the probability for both events is 32%
