Nuclear
Oil 39% Natural gas 24% Coal 23%
Nuclear 8% Hydropower 3% Other 3% Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A breakdown of the sources of energy used in the United States is shown below. Choose one energy source at random. Find the probability that it is:
P(Not oil) = 1- 0.35 = 0.65
-------
P(Natural gas or oil) = 0.24+0.35 = 0.69
-------
P(Nuclear) 0,08
