You believe that the probability of getting accepted by A is .8, by B is .4, and the probability of being rejected by at least one is .65. (a) What is the probability of getting accepted by at least one of the schools?Example 2: Grad School AdmissionsAccepted by ADenied by ATotalAccepted by BDenied by BTotalExample 2: Grad School AdmissionsAccepted by ADenied by ATotalAccepted by B400Denied by B600Total 800 200 1000Example 2: Grad School AdmissionsAccepted by ADenied by ATotalAccepted by B350 400Denied by B600Total 800 200 1000Example 2: Grad School AdmissionsAccepted by ADenied by ATotalAccepted by B350 50 400Denied by B450 150 600Total 800 200 1000P(accepted by A or B (or both)) = 850/1000 = .85BAP(AB) vs. P(A'B')BAFor TuesdayHW 1 dueContinue with Lab 2Any questions so
