The probability that the farmer planted corn OR lettuce is 1/2.
What is the probability?
Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty.
The Venn diagram below shows the type of crops planted by 50 farmers in a particular area.
The number of farmers plant only corn = 5
The number of farmers plant only lettuce = 10
The number of farmers plant corn and lettuce = 10
Total number of farmers = 50
If a farmer is chosen at random, then the probability that the farmer planted corn OR lettuce is;
[tex]\rm Probability =\dfrac{Corn + Lettuce+ Corn and Lettuce}{Total \ number \ of \ farmers}\\\\ Probability =\dfrac{5+10+10}{50}\\\\\rm Probability =\dfrac{25}{50}\\\\\rm Probability =\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the probability that the farmer planted corn OR lettuce is 1/2.
