results from 100 strands are as follows: High conductivity Low conductivity Strength High Low 74 8 15 3 (a) If a strand is randomly selected‚ what is the probability that its conductivity is high and its strength is high? P (High conductivity and high strength)= 74/100 =0.74 (b) If a strand is randomly selected‚ what is the probability that its conductivity is low or its strength is low? P (Low strength or low conductivity) = P(Low conductivity) + P(Low strength) – P(Low conductivity and low
