If I am given a table showing the breakdown of 558 people who own (O), rent (R), for less than 2 years,(L) or more than two years (M)... How do I find the P(O and M) and P(O or M)?
I am given column totals and row totals as following:
Less than 2 years (L) More than 2 years (M)
Owner (O) : 73 194
Renter (R) : 210 81
Would the events be considered independent and mutually exclusive or just mutually exclusive?
For P(O or M), I am adding the P(O)+P(M) or 267/558 + 275/558 and getting a total that is gretaer than one (which is impossible). HELP PLEASE!
