Algebra.Com's Answer #680538 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! C. It isn't possible. OR would be maximum if the two had no overlap. In that case P (A or B)= P(A)+P(B) \n" ); document.write( "That sum is 0.090, and it should equal 0.248; if it were more than that, then there would be double counting of P(A and B). \n" ); document.write( " |
