T18 You will take either a basket-weaving course or a philosophy course, depending on what your advisor decides. You estimate that the probability of getting an A in basket weaving is 0.85, while in philosophy it is 0.70. However, the chances of your advisor choosing the basket-weaving course is only 20%, while there is an 80%chance that he will put you in the philosophy course. What is the probability that you end up with an A? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.)
