Probability Two Way
1. **Problem:** Find the probability that a randomly chosen fisherman was fishing far from shore and caught bangus.
2. **Formula:** Probability of an event = \( \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \)
3. **Given:** Number of fishermen fishing far from shore and caught bangus = 18
Total fishermen = 50
4. **Calculation:**
$$P(\text{Far from shore and caught bangus}) = \frac{18}{50} = \frac{9}{25} = 0.36$$
5. **Answer:** The probability is \(0.36\) or 36%.

1. **Problem:** Find the probability that a randomly selected participant is female.
2. **Given:** Number of female participants = 35
Total participants = 70
3. **Calculation:**
$$P(\text{Female}) = \frac{35}{70} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
4. **Answer:** The probability is \(0.5\) or 50%.

1. **Problem:** Find the probability that a randomly chosen team is from Tanza 1 given that it won.
2. **Formula:** Conditional probability \(P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\)
3. **Given:** Number of teams from Tanza 1 that won = 8
Total teams that won = 14
4. **Calculation:**
$$P(\text{Tanza 1} | \text{Won}) = \frac{8}{14} = \frac{4}{7} \approx 0.5714$$
5. **Answer:** The probability is approximately \(0.5714\) or 57.14%.

1. **Problem:** Find the probability that a randomly chosen volunteer is a student or collected plastic waste.
2. **Formula:** For two events A and B, \(P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\)
3. **Given:**
- Number of students = 40
- Number who collected plastic waste = 45
- Number of students who collected plastic waste = 25
- Total volunteers = 70
4. **Calculation:**
$$P(\text{Student}) = \frac{40}{70} = \frac{4}{7}$$
$$P(\text{Plastic Waste}) = \frac{45}{70} = \frac{9}{14}$$
$$P(\text{Student and Plastic Waste}) = \frac{25}{70} = \frac{5}{14}$$
$$P(\text{Student or Plastic Waste}) = \frac{4}{7} + \frac{9}{14} - \frac{5}{14} = \frac{8}{14} + \frac{9}{14} - \frac{5}{14} = \frac{12}{14} = \frac{6}{7} \approx 0.8571$$
5. **Answer:** The probability is approximately \(0.8571\) or 85.71%.
