An artist entered two paintings(lighthouse, and Old catherdral) in the show. He feels that the probablities are 0.15, 0.18, 0.11, respectively, that he will sell the lighthouse, the old catherdral, or both. What is the probability that he will sell either of the two paintings?
-----------
Formula: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
-----------------
Your Problem:
P(lighthouse Or cathedral) = 0.15 + 0.18 - 0.11) = 0.22
