Algebra.Com's Answer #250027 by jim_thompson5910(35256) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) Hint: P(Contract at least one disease) = P(Contract Disease 1) + P(Contract Disease 2) - P(Contract both diseases)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) Hint: P(Contract both given having contracted at least one) = P(Contracting both) divided by P(Contract at least one disease) \n" ); document.write( " |
