what is the probability that he will sell both fruits and vegetable on the same call?
what is the probability that he will sell fruits or vegetables but not both?​

Answer 1

Answer:0.825

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of selling fruits(p(f))=0.35

Probability of selling Veggies(p(v))=0.5

1) p(selling both fruits and veggie)=p(f)*p(v)

                                                           = 0.35*0.5   = 0.175

2) p(selling only one of them not both)=1-p(selling both)

                                                                  =1-0.175 = 0.825
