The cans are all the same size and shape. If one can is selected at random from the​ cooler, determine the probability that the soda selected is root beer​, ginger ale, or cola.

The probability that the can selected is a root beer​, ginger ale, or cola is ___________ .

​(Simplify your answer. Type a​ fraction.)

Answer 1

P(A ∨ B) = P(A) + P(B)

(1 / 100) + (46 / 100) + (19 / 100) = ?
