Final answer:
To find the probability of a husband cooking either eggs or bacon for breakfast, use the formula P(A OR B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A AND B). Plugging in the given values results in a probability of 0.34.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the probability of a husband cooking eggs or bacon for breakfast, we need to use the formula for the probability of the union of two events, which is P(A OR B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A AND B).
In this problem, the probability of the husband cooking eggs (event A) is P(A) = 0.1, the probability of the husband cooking bacon (event B) is P(B) = 0.3, and the probability of the husband cooking both eggs and bacon (event A AND B) is P(A AND B) = 0.06.
Applying these values to the formula, we get:
P(A OR B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A AND B) = 0.1 + 0.3 - 0.06 = 0.4 - 0.06 = 0.34.
Therefore, the probability of the husband cooking either eggs or bacon for breakfast is 0.34.
