Conditional probability that the death was accidental


Choose an American farm at random and measure its size in acres. Here are the probabilities that the farm chosen falls in several acreage categories:

Acres <10 10-49 50-99 100-179 180-499 500-999 1000-1999 ?2000
Probability 0.15 0.19 0.11 0.08 0.24 0.12 0.1 0.0

Let A be the event that the farm is less than 50 acres in size, and let B be the event that it is 500 acres or more.(a) Find P(A). Please use 2 decimal places.

(b) Find P(B). Please use 2 decimal places.

(c) Find P(Ac). Please use 2 decimal places.

(d) Find P(A or B). Please use 2 decimal places.
