The probability that a husband watches the movie Toy Story is 0.4 while the probability that a wife watches the movie is 0.5. The probability that a husband watches the movie, given that his wife does, is 0.7. (a) What is the probability that a married couple watches the movie

0.35 = 35% probability that a married couple watches the movie

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

The probability that a husband watches the movie, given that his wife does, is 0.7.

This means that

The probability that a wife watches the movie is 0.5.

This means that

What is the probability that a married couple watches the movie?

Both, so:

0.35 = 35% probability that a married couple watches the movie

Step-by-step explanation:

An ordered pair contains the coordinates of one point in the coordinate system. A point is named by its ordered pair of the form of (x, y). The first number corresponds to the x-coordinate and the second to the y-coordinate. To graph a point, you draw a dot at the coordinates that corresponds to the ordered pair.
