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
