Answer:-

Given That:-

In a big cooler in the kitchen there are the following drinks:

12 bottles of soda,

9 cans of soda

3 bottles of juice, and

5 cans of juice.

Emily just came in from playing outside and is going to choose one of these drinks at random from the cooler. What is the probability that the drink Emily chooses is in a bottle or is a juice?

Do not round intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Given,

A = 12 bottles of soda,

B = 9 cans of soda

C = 3 bottles of juice, and

D = 5 cans of juice.

Total = 29

Pr(bottle or juice) = Pr(Bottle) + Pr(juice) - Pr(Bottle and juice)

= (12 + 3)/29 + (3 + 5)/29 - 3/29

= 15/29 + 8/29 - 3/29

= 20/29

= 0.69
