Probability
In an engineering department, the acceptance in the civil major and the acceptance in the mechanical major are two independent events. However, it is more likely to be accepted in the mechanical major. The probability to be accepted in both majors is 0.012, however to be accepted in at least one major is 0.248. Let “C" be the event the acceptance in the civil major and let “M" be the event the acceptance in the mechanical major. Then: P(C)=0.02 and P(M)=0.6 P(C)=0.06 and P(M)=0.2 None of these P(C)=0.1 and P(M)=0.12
