There are some baskets. The chances of picking a loaded basket and choosing a red coloured one is 0.2. For every 100 tries to pick one basket, 60 times a basket is either loaded or red in colour. What is the sum of the probabilities of choosing an empty basket and choosing not a red coloured one?
- A 1.2
- B 0.8
- C 1.3
- D 0.4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 1.2
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(L\) be the event of picking a loaded basket and \(R\) be the event of picking a red-coloured basket. Given: \(P(L \cap R) = 0.2\) and \(P(L \cup R) = \dfrac{60}{100} = 0.6\) \(P(L) + P(R) = P(L \cup R) + P(L \cap R) = 0.6 + 0.2 = 0.8\)…
