Transcript text: Find the probability of the indicated event if $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})=0.20$ and $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{F})=0.45$. Find $P(E$ or $F)$ if $P(E$ and $F)=0.15$. $P(E$ or $F)=$ $\square$ (Simplify your answer.)

Solution

Solution Steps

Given:

$P(E) = 0.2$
$P(F) = 0.45$
$P(E \text{ and } F) = 0.15$

Step 1: Use the addition rule for probabilities to find $P(E \text{ or } F)$

$P(E \text{ or } F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E \text{ and } F)$
$P(E \text{ or } F) = 0.2 + 0.45 - 0.15 = 0.5$

Final Answer:

$P(E \text{ or } F) = 0.5$
