A survey of teens suggested that 33% can name at least one professional baseball player, and 90% of those teens can also name at least one professional football player. In the entire population, 64% can name at least one professional football player. What percentage of teens can name at least one player from these sports? (0.33)(0.64) = 0.2112 0.33 + 0.64 = 0.97 0.33 + 0.64 – (0.33)(0.64) = 0.7588 0.33 + 0.64 – (0.90)(0.33) = 0.673

Answer:


d.\ 0.33 + 0.64 – (0.90)(0.33) = 0.673

Explanation:

Given


P(Baseball) = 33\%


P(Baseball\ n\ Football) = 90\%


P(Football) = 64\%

Required


P(Baseball\ or\ Football)

This is calculated as:


P(Baseball\ or\ Football) =P(Baseball) + P(Football) -P(Baseball\ n\ Football)


P(Baseball\ or\ Football) = 0.33 + 0.64 - (0.90)(0.33)


P(Baseball\ or\ Football) = 0.33 + 0.64 - 0.297


P(Baseball\ or\ Football) = 0.673
