Question 1061186: A mathematics professor assigns two problems for homework and knows that the probability of a student solving the first problem is 0.60, the probability of solving the second is 0.50, and the probability of solving both is 0.15 Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The answer is wrong. The probability of any one student solving both problems is .6 x .5, or .30. ☺☺☺☺
