In the first episode of a reality show, contestants had to spin two wheels of fate. Spinning thefirst wheel determined the remote location where contestants would reside for the duration ofthe season. Spinning the second wheel determined which "bonus survival tool" they would beallowed to bring, along with a few other necessary items.The probability that a participant spun the first wheel and landed on island is 0.2, theprobability that a participant spun the second wheel and landed on a mirror is 0.8 and theprobability that a participant spun the first wheel and landed on island and spun the secondwheel and landed on a mirror is 0.1.What is the probability that a randomly chosen participant spun the first wheel and landed onisland or spun the second wheel and landed on a mirror?

The union probability for any two events A and B is defined as P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and…
