What is the probability that Ian wins one event and loses the other Give your answer as a decimal 100 PTS ANSWER ASAP class=

Respuesta :

1. Win backstroke lose freestyle
0.7 x 0.4 = 0.28 or 28%

2. Lose backstroke win freestyle
0.3 x 0.6 = 0.18 or 18%

28% + 18% = 46%

Answer:

0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

A tree diagram shows all possible outcomes of two or more events.

Each branch is a possible outcome and can be labelled with the probability.  The outcome is written at the end of the branch.

When using tree diagrams to calculate the overall probabilities:

  • Multiply probabilities along the branches.
  • Add probabilities down the columns.

The possible outcomes that Ian wins one event and loses the other are:

  • Win and lose
  • Lose and win

Therefore, to find the probabilities of these two outcomes, trace along the branches, multiplying the given probabilities:

[tex]\sf P(Win\:and\:lose)=0.7 \times 0.4 = 0.28[/tex]

[tex]\sf P(Lose\:and\:win)=0.3 \times 0.6 = 0.18[/tex]

Finally, add them together:

[tex]\sf P(Win\:and\:lose)\:OR\:P(Lose\:and\:win)= 0.28+0.18=0.46[/tex]
