Question 1060086: Johns probability of passing a class is 40% and Linda's is 70%. The events are independent, find the following probabilities.
A) P(both will pass the class)
B) P(at least one will pass the class)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A) The probability that BOTH will pass the class is .4 x .7, or .28
B) The probability that NEITHER will pass the class is .6 x .3, or .18. Therefore, the probability that at least one will pass is 1-.18, or .82. ☺☺☺☺
