Problem
Solution
Let x = age, W= weight the two variables of interest
We have the following probabilities given:
P(x<37) =0.142
P(W< 2500) = 0.051
P(x <37 AND W<2500)= 0.031
And we want the following probability and we can use the total probability rule:
P(x < 37 OR W< 2500) = P(x<37) +P(W< 2500) -P(x<37 AND W<2500)
If we replace we got:
P(x < 37 OR W< 2500)= 0.142+ 0.051- 0.031= 0.162
