35. With the given solution below, which of the following statements describe the
missing term?
P(I∪ F ) = P(I) + P(F) – P(I ∩ F)
= 95/180 + 75/180 -
A. The missing term should be 30/180 because 30 students do not like to eat either
chicken inasal of fried chicken.
B. The missing term should be 55/180 because 55 students like to eat chicken inasal
only.
C. The missing term should be 35/180 because 35 students like to eat fried chicken
only.
D. The missing term should be 40/180 because 40 likes to both eat chicken inasal and
fried chicken.
36. Study the alternative solution below and modify the errors, if there’s any.
P(A∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) -------------------------> step 1
= 95/180 + 75/180 – 40/180 -------------------> step 2
= 0.528 + 0.417 – 0.222 ---------------------------> step 3
= 0.945 – 0.222 --------------------------------------> step 4
