Question

A provincial park claims that the probability of spotting moose in the park is 0.15 and the probability of seeing loons is 0.70.

A)Determine P(moose and loon on the same day

B) P= Moose on two consecutive days

C) P= No moose for two days.

Answer 1

A) 0.105

B) 0.30

C) 0.70

Explanation:

The probability of spotting moose is 0.15.

The probability of spotting loons is 0.70.

A) The probability of spotting moose and loons on the same day is =

0.15 * 0.70 = 0.105

B) The probability of spotting moose on two consecutive days is:

2 * 0.15 = 0.30

C) The probability of not spotting moose for two days is:

1 - P(Moose on two consecutive days) = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70
