Brenda’s Bike Booth, at the mall, allows people to order a bike in their choice of 4 colors (Atomic Tangerine, Banana, Café Noir, or Dollar Bill) and the options of with or without a basket; with or without a horn. Given all of these options, what’s the probability that my daughter chooses either a banana colored bike with a basket, or an Atomic Tangerine colored bike without a horn?
*First part is the fundamental counting principle I believe = 16. But I am lost figuring out the probability! Thanks
If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
P(bb) = 1/4 * 1/2
P(Aw/h) = 1/4 * 1/2
Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.
