Question

In Pat's residence there are more than four rooms. The probability Pat will be in the living room is 45%. The probability Pat will be in the kitchen is 25%. The probability Pat will be in the bedroom is 5%. The probability Pat will be in the bathroom is 5%. The probability Pat will be in the remaining rooms such as halls or the den is 20%. What is the probability of Pat being either in the bathroom or the kitchen?

Answer 1

The probability of Pat being either in the bathroom or the kitchen is the sum of the two individual probabilities, which is 30%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Pat being either in the bathroom or the kitchen is the sum of the individual probabilities for these two rooms. The probability of Pat being in the kitchen is 25% and the probability of being in the bathroom is 5%. To find the total probability of either event occurring, you simply add these probabilities together.

Probability of being in the kitchen or bathroom = Probability of being in the kitchen + Probability of being in the bathroom
= 25% + 5% = 30%.
