b) Find P(Red).
c) Find P(Manufacturer B and Red),
d) Find P(Manufacturer B or Red).

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

a)

P(A or Black) = (73 + 27)/127 = 100/127 = 0.7874015748

b)

P(Red) = red/total = 39/127 = 0.30708661417

c)

P(Manufacturer B and Red) = (B and red)/total = 10/ 127 = 0.0787401575

d)

P(Manufacturer B or Red) = (B or red)/total = (54 + 29)/127 = 0.65354330708
