Probability Distribution
Can you please tell me what's wrong in my calculation as my answer is wrong? Thanks.
Ans: P(s intersection f), intersection of two independent events calls for multiplying each probability
P(s) * P(f) = 0.9 * 0.5 = 0.4
The probability is P(h intersection f) = 0.6 * 0.8 = 0.48 The two events would not be independent.
Ans: P(s intersection f), intersection of two independent events calls for multiplying each probability
P(s) * P(f) = 0.9 * 0.5 = 0.4
The probability is P(h intersection f) = 0.6 * 0.8 = 0.48 The two events would not be independent.

I am sorry.
a. If a customer places an order, what is the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries if
these two events are independent? The probability is : P(s) = 0.9, P(f) = 0.5, the complement of f(F) is 0.5
Ans: P(s intersection f), intersection of two independent events calls for multiplying each probability
P(s) * P(f) = 0.9 * 0.5 = 0.4

Some how the numbers are cut in the excel sheet. I ma not sure if this the right way to solve this.
P(s) * P(f) = 0.94 * 0.57 = 0.5358
P(s) * P(f) = 0.94 * 0.57 = 0.5358

b. The restaurant has also determined that if a customer orders a hamburger, the probability the customer will order fries is 0.76. Determine the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries.
The probability is P(h intersection f) = 0.57 * 0.76 = 0.4332 The two events would not be independent.
The probability is P(h intersection f) = 0.57 * 0.76 = 0.4332 The two events would not be independent.

Soft Drink = 0.94
Ham Burger no Fries = 0.57
= 0.94 * 0.57
Ham Burger no Fries = 0.57
= 0.94 * 0.57
>> Ham Burger no Fries = 0.57 That is incorrect and irrelevant.

Thanks.
And some of the math is wrong: 0.9 * 0.5 is not equal to 0.4
And please show your work, not just the final result.
Do you think both parts are wrong?
