    Klaus has a 0.4 probability of choosing New Zealand and a 0.15 probability of choosing Bali for his vacation. The probability that he chooses either New Zealand or Bali is 0.4 + 0.15 - 0.04 = 0.51, since there is a 0.04 probability that he chooses both. Carlos has a 0.65 probability of making a goal each time he shoots. The probability that he makes both goals on his first two attempts is 0.65 * 0.65 = 0.4225, since the events are independent.

    Klaus is trying to choose where to go on vacation.

    His choices are (with probability of


    selecting it in parenthesis): A=New Zealand (P=0.4), B= Alaska (P=0.35), C= Bali
    (P=0.15) and D= Mauritius (P=0.1). Klaus can only afford one vacation. What is the
    probability that he chooses either New Zealand or Bali?

    Carlos plays college soccer. He makes a goal 65% of the time he shoots. Carlos is going
    to attempt two goals in a row in the next game. A=the event Carlos is successful on his
    first attempt. P(A)=0.65. B= the event Carlos is successful on his second
    attempt. P(B)=0.65. What is the probability that he makes both goals?
