Answer:
It is very likely that Rosa wins both prizes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of winning a T‐shirt is 0.89 and the probability of winning a $20 gift certificate is 0.05. Which statement correctly describes the chances of Rosa winning a T‐shirt or a $20 gift certificate?
We have these three possibe outcomes.
Win t-shirt(0.89 probability) and lose the gift certiciate(1 - 0.05 = 0.95 probability)
Lose t-shirt(0.11 probability) and win the gift certiciate(0.05 probability).
Win both.
So
[tex]p = 0.89*0.95 + 0.11*0.05 + 0.89*0.05 = 0.8955[/tex]
0.8955 = 89.55% probability of Rosa winning a T‐shirt or a $20 gift certificate, which is considered a very likely probability. So the answer is:
It is very likely that Rosa wins both prizes.
