In a sample of 275 students, 20 say they are vegetarians. of the vegetarians, 9 eat both fish and eggs, 3 eat eggs but not fish, and 7 eat neither. choose one of the vegetarians at random. what is the probability that the chosen student eats fish or eggs?
Accepted Solution
A:
We know that there is sample of 275 MHS Students
20 are vegetarians
9 eat both fish
and eggs
3 eat eggs but
not fish
8 eat neither
Total 20
In a table:
FISH FISHc
TOTAL
EGGS 9 3
12
EGGSc 1 7 8
TOTAL 10 10
20
P(F U E) = 9 + 3 + 1 / 20 = 13/20 = 0.65
Or
P(F U E) = 10/20 + 12/20 -9/20 = 13/20 = 0.65
