Question

A person is shopping for a new snowmobile. The probability that someone buys an arctic cat is 39%, a Polaris is 27% and a ski doo is 18%

Answer 1

The probability that someone buys either an arctic cat or a ski doo=
`(57)/(100)`

Explanation:

A person is shopping for a new snowmobile.

The probability that someone buys an arctic cat is =P(A)=
`(39)/(100)`,

The probability that someone buys a polaris=P(B)=
`(27)/(100)` and

The probability that someone buys a ski doo=P(C)=
`(18)/(100)`.

Now, The probability that someone buys either an arctic cat or a ski doo=P(AorC)=P(A)+P(C)

=
`(39)/(100)+(18)/(100)`

=
`(57)/(100)`

Which is the required probability.
