The MSU basketball team is playing OU. If the probability that MSU wins the game is 0.68 and the probability that OU wins is 0.27.
1. Find the probability that MSU or OU wins.
2. Find the Probability that there is a tie.
1. Either-or probability found by adding the individual probabilities. .68+.27 = ?
2. 1-.68-.27 = ?
To find the probability that MSU or OU wins, you can simply add the probabilities of each team winning. So, to solve the first question:
1. Probability that MSU or OU wins:
- P(MSU or OU) = P(MSU wins) + P(OU wins)
- Probability that MSU wins = 0.68
- Probability that OU wins = 0.27
- P(MSU or OU) = 0.68 + 0.27
- P(MSU or OU) = 0.95
Therefore, the probability that MSU or OU wins the game is 0.95 (or 95%).
Now, let's move on to the second question:
2. Probability that there is a tie:
- In this case, it is given that either MSU or OU will win the game. Therefore, the probability of a tie is zero.
