Question 1020143: Jack's probability of passing a math course is 40%, and Larry's probability of passing the same course is 70%. If the two events are independent, find the following probabilities.
a) P(both of them will pass statistics)
b) P(at least one of them will pass statistics) Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Both will pass is .4 * .7 = .28 or 28%
At least 1 will pass is 1-(both will fail) = 1-(.6*.3)= .82 or 82%
