Question 1158499: The probability of making the basketball team is 31%, the probability of making the softball team is 39%, and the probability of making one or the other is 50%. What is the probability of making both teams? Answer by VFBundy(438) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(basketball) + P(softball) - P(basketball AND softball) = P(basketball OR softball)
0.31 + 0.39 - P(basketball AND softball) = 0.50
P(basketball AND softball) + 0.50 = 0.31 + 0.39
P(basketball AND softball) + 0.50 = 0.70
P(basketball AND softball) = 0.20
