You can put this solution on YOUR website! A student feels that the probability of passing her drivers test is 90%, the probability of selling her bicycle is 60%. Find the probability that she will pass the test or sell her bicycle. What Assumption did you make?
-------------------------
P(pass or sell) = P(pass) + P(sell) - P(pass AND sell)
------
= 0.9 + 0.6 - 0.9*0.6
-------
= 1.5 - 0.54
---
= 0.96
Assumed the pass and the sell are independent events.
