The schedule for summer classes is available and Calculus and Introduction to Psychology are scheduled at the same time, so it is impossible for a student to schedule for both courses. The probability a student registers for Calculus is 0.05 and the probability a student registers for psychology is 0.62. What is the probability a student registers for Calculus or psychology?

Explanation

The given is that the probability a student registers for Calculus is 0.05 and the probability a student registers for psychology is 0.62. Since it impossible for a student to schedule for both courses, we will have

[tex]\begin{gathered} Pr(Psychology\text{ or calculus\rparen=Pr\lparen P\rparen+Pr\lparen C\rparen-Pr\lparen P}\cap C) \\ =0.05+0.62-0 \\ =0.67 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer: 0.67
