This quarter, there is a 52% chance that Jason will pass Accounting, a 70% chance that he
will pass English, and 84% chance that he will pass at least one of these two courses. What is
the probability that he will pass both Accounting and English?
I really have no Idea how to do this but I was thinking it would be something like this..
P(85) = P(52)+P(70)-P(x) => P(x)=P(122)-P(85) => P(x)=P(38) => So the chances of him passing both classes is 38%? This sounds like a such a low number and most likely wrong XD
