\n" ); document.write( " PROBABILITY OF HAVING A MICROWAVE P(A) = 0.75 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " PROBABILITY OF HAVING A CD PLAYER P(B) = 0.25 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " PROBABILITY OF HAVING BOTH P(A ∩ B) = 0.16 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "NOW, WE HAVE TO FIND THE PROBABILITY OF HAVING EITHER OF THEM P (A U B)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = 0.75 + 0.25 - 0.16 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = 0.84\r
