The probability of an event A is 1/5. The probability of B is 1/3 . The probability both A and B is 1/15. What is the probability of either event A or B or both

A.

2/15

B.

3/4

C.

9/15

D.

1/15

Correct Answer: 9/15

Explanation

In probability, or = + Prob( A or B or Both ) = 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/15 = (5+3+1)/15 = 9/15 = 3/5

In probability, or = + Prob( A or B or Both ) = 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/15 = (5+3+1)/15 = 9/15 = 3/5
