Question

A food truck sells tacos, burrito, and drinks.

Let event A = A customer buys a taco

Let event B = A customer buys a drink

What does P(A or B) = 0.60 mean in terms of this problem?

A) The probability that a customer buys both a taco and a drink is 60%.

B) Buying a taco and buying s drink are mutually exclusive events.

C) The probability that a customer buys either a taco or a drink is 60%.

D) The probability that a customer buys neither a taco nor a drink is 60%.

Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

For two events A and B, P(A or B) represents the probability that event A occurs, or event B occurs.

In this case, event A represents a customer buys a taco and event B represents a customer buys a drink. We know that

`P (A\ or\ B) = 0.60`

So this means that the probability that a customer buys either a taco or a drink is 60%

The answer is the option C

Answer 2

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

P(A or B) represents that event A has occurred or event B has occurred or both events A and B are happening.

We are given P(A or B) = 0.60 or 0.60/100 = 60%

So, Option C The probability that a customer buys either a taco or a drink is 60% is correct.
