Question 2 • TN-Algebra II B SC 26-27 (For Credit)
An airline gathers data on late departures and early arrivals over a month. It finds that the probability of a late departure is 12 percent, the probability of an early arrival is 27 percent, and the probability of both a late departure and an early arrival is 4 percent. Which equation shows how to correctly calculate the probability of a late departure or an early arrival?
Answer
A
P(late departure or early arrival) = 0.12 + 0.04
B
P(late departure or early arrival) = 0.12 + 0.27
C
P(late departure or early arrival) = 0.12 + 0.27 – 0.04
D
P(late departure or early arrival) = 0.27 + 0.04 – 0.12
