let a be the event that truck 1 is available.
\n" ); document.write( "let b be the event that truck 2 is available.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p(a) is given as .76
\n" ); document.write( "p(b) is given as .55
\n" ); document.write( "p(a and b) is given as .46\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p(a or b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a and b) = .76 + .55 - .46 = .85\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "not p(a or b) is equal to 1 - p(a or b) = 1 - .85 = .15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "probability that neither truck is available is .15 based on this formula.\r
