if mike does homework today the probability that he will do it tomorrow is 0.8. the probability he will do it today is 0.7. what are the odds that he will do it both today and tomorrow
.56
To calculate the odds that Mike will do his homework both today and tomorrow, we need to multiply the probabilities that he will do it today and tomorrow.
Given:
- Probability of doing homework today (P(today)) = 0.7
- Probability of doing homework tomorrow (P(tomorrow)) = 0.8
To find the odds, we can use the probability formula:
Odds = P(today) × P(tomorrow)
Odds = 0.7 × 0.8
Odds = 0.56
Therefore, the odds that Mike will do his homework both today and tomorrow are 0.56.
