Pizza Time has collected data about customer pizza topping preferences. They have calculated that P(pepperoni) = 0.7, P(olives) = 0.6, and P(pepperoni or olives) = 0.8. Determine the P(pepperoni and olives). (2 points)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "0.5 is the answer but why??
\n" ); document.write( "Rule:: P(A and B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A or B)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "P(pep or oli) = P(pep)+P(oli)-P(pep or oli)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "= 0.7 + 0.6 - 0.8 = 0.13-0.8 = 0.5
