Suppose that 54 of families living in a certain country own

Suppose that 54 of families living in a certain country own an HDTV and 24 own a computer The Addition Rule might suggest then that 78 of families own either an HDTV or a computer What s wrong with that reasoning Choose the correct answer below CODE OA The sum of the probabilities of the two given events does not equal 1 so this is not a legitimate probability assignment OB The reasoning is correct Thus 78 of families own either an HDTV or a computer OC A family may own both an HDTV and a computer The events are not disjoint so the Addition Rule does not apply OD If one family owns an HDTV or a computer it can influence another family to also own an HDTV or a computer The events are not independent so the Addition Rule does not apply
