Answer:

0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we have the following data available:

Probability of randomly chosen death caused by a heart disease = 0.27

Probability of randomly chosen death caused by cancer = 0.23

We are to calculate the probability that the death was as a result of either cancer or heart disease.

P(cancer or heart disease)

= 0.27 + 0.23

= 0.50
