Question

a fish is randomly drawn from a barrel with 10 green fish, 9 blue fish, and 16 red fish. event a: blue event b: red p(a or b) = ? hint: p(a or b) = p(a) + p(b) round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total fish

Total = 10 + 9 + 16 = 35

Step2: Find P(A) and P(B)

P(A) = $\frac{9}{35}$, P(B) = $\frac{16}{35}$

Step3: Compute P(A or B)

P(A or B) = $\frac{9}{35} + \frac{16}{35} = \frac{25}{35} ≈ 0.71$

Answer:

0.71
