Question

It has been determined that 15% of all cars tested emit excessive hydrocarbons, 12% emit excessive CO, and 8% emit excessive amounts of both. Find the probability that emissions of both hydrocarbons and CO are excessive. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

The probability that emission of both CO and hydrocarbon is in excess is 0.8.

What is probability?

The proportion of favorable cases to all possible cases used to determine how likely an event is to occur.

Let, A be the event in which cars are emitting excess CO:

P(A) = 0.12

Let, B be the event in which cars are emitting excess hydrocarbons:

P(B) = 0.15

The cars which emit both CO and Hydrocarbons in:

P(A∩B) = 0.8

The probability that emission of both CO and hydrocarbon is in excess is 0.8.
