A postal carrier distributes letters, ads, and magazines. The break down of deliveries is:
Delivered to / Letter / Ads / Magazines /Total
Homes /775 / 880 /270 /1925
Business /485 /417 /180 /1082
Total /1260 /1297 /450 /3007
---------------------------------------------
Questions
A What is the probability that it was an ad? = 1297/3007
-------------------------------------------------------------
B What is the probability that it was an ad delivered to a home? = 880/3007
-------------------------------------------------------------
C What is the probability that it was an ad or it was delivered to a home?
= P(ad)+P(home)-P(ad and home) = (1297+1925-880)/3007 = 2342/3007
