Do not round any intermediate calculations. republican voted for 24 republican voted against 19 democrat voted for 44 democrat voted against 7 other voted for 1 other voted against 5
.76 since they are not mutually exclusive you use P(A)+P(B)-PA and B) so it would be (51/100)+(69/100)-(44/100) to get .76
A standard pair of six-sided dice is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a sum greater than 4? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.
.8333 30 possible pairs divided by total number of outcomes (36) to get .8333

.95 you take number of males that live in dorm divided by the total number and get 94/1895 to get .050 then you take that and subtract it to 1 like: 1-.050 to get .95 1-P(E)
