3.2 Exercise 15

Avg difficulty 2.5

Mark is deciding which route to take to work. His choices are I = the Interstate and F = Fifth Street.

  • P ( I ) = 0.44 P \left(I\right) = 0.44 and P ( F ) = 0.56 P \left(F\right) = 0.56
  • P ( I ∩ F ) = 0 P \left(I \cap F\right) = 0 because Mark will take only one route to work.

What is the probability of P ( I ∪ F )P \left(I \cup F\right)?
