Tesco and Aldi are both supermarkets. On any particular day, Tesco is closedwith probability 0.2, while Aldi is open with probability 0.7. Given Aldi isopen, Tesco is open with probability 0.87. Using the inclusion-exclusionprinciple, or otherwise, determine the probability that at least one of thesupermarkets is open.

Let A: Tesco is open B: Aldi is open Given: P(Ac )=0.2 P(A)=0.8 P(B)=0.7 Also given P(A|B)=0.87

Answered: Tesco and Aldi are both supermarkets.…

A sit-down restaurant has two types of appetizers: garden salad and buffalo wings. It has three entrees: Spaghetti, steak and chicken. And it offers three types of dessert: ice cream, cake and pie. Draw a tree diagram to represent all the meals a customer can order at this restaurant. How many different meals can a customer order at this restaurant? What is the probability a diner selects a meal of salad, steak, and pie?
At a local restaurant, you are allowed to pick one side with your dinner. Because you can only choose one, your side choice is mutually exclusive of all the other sides to chose from. On any given day, there is a 0.34 chance you will pick an fries, and a 0.1 chance you will pick an veggies. Today, you do not pick an veggies; what is the probability you pick fries today?

On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85. (a) Find the probability that the team wins the debate. b sketch a tree diagram to model this process
