3 A construction firm has bid on two projects. The probability of getting the first project is 0.35 and the probability of getting the second project is 0.40. The probability that the construction firm gets both projects is 0.22. Find: (a)* The probability that the construction firm gets one or the other or both projects. (b) The probability that the construction firm doesn't get the first project. (c) The probability that the construction firm gets the first project but not both. (d)* The probability that the construction firm gets neither project. (e) Which of the 4 probabilities is the greatest, and why does this make sense?
