A company makes 140 bags.
41 of the bags have buttons but no zips.
48 of the bags have zips but no buttons.
25 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons.
A bag is selected at random.
What is the probability that the bag has buttons?

Respuesta :

Answer:

41/140 or approximately 29.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 41 by 140 to get 0.29285714285, and round it to the nearest hundredths.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b= buttons

z= zips

b∩z'=41

b'∩z=48

b'∩z'=25

b=?

b= b∩z+b∩z' (law of total probability)

140=b∩z+b∩z'+b'∩z+b'∩z'  (if this is confusing draw a venn diagram)

140=b∩z+41+48+25

b∩z=26

26+41= 67

67/140= .478571429
