Question 10 • CR - Algebra 2 26-27 - S2

The manager of a grocery store reports that there is a 12 percent chance that a customer buys apples during a shopping trip, a 5 percent chance that a customer buy apples and carrots, and a 17 percent chance that a customer buys apples or carrots.What is the probability of a customer buying carrots?

Answer
A
1.4 percent
B
5.0 percent
C
10.0 percent
D
11.4 percent

Explanation

Use the addition rule: P(apples or carrots) = P(apples) + P(carrots) − P(both). Substituting the given probabilities gives 17% = 12% + P(carrots) − 5%, so P(carrots) = 10%. The correct choice is 10.0 percent.
