Answer 10:
Data given:
At a certain pizza parlor - 56 % of the customers order a pizza containing onions, 55 % of the customers order a pizza containing sausage, and 69% order a pizza containing onions or sausage (or both).
Probability that a customer chosen at random will order
a pizza containing both onions and sausage, 
 = ?
Probability that a customer chosen at random will order a pizza
containing onions, 
Probability that a customer chosen at random will order a pizza
containing sausage, 
Probability that a customer chosen at random will order a pizza
containing onions or sausage (or both), 
As we know, for any two events A and B - the probability of the union of two events is given as -

Using the above information, we can find the required probability as -





Thus, the probability that a customer chosen at random will order a pizza containing both onions and sausage is 0.42 .
