Teenagers tend to ride skateboards and bicycles is order to get around the town. the probability of a teenager owning a skateboard is 0.37, of owning a bicycle is 0.81 and of owning both is 0.36. If a teenager is chosen at random, the probability that the teenager owns a skateboard or a bicycle is

 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : P(own skateboard) =0.37

P( own bicycle) =0.81

P(own skateboard and bicycle) = 0.36

Since, P(A or B) =P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B)

So, P(own skateboard or  bicycle) = P(own skateboard) + P( own bicycle)-P(own skateboard and bicycle)

= 0.37 + 0.81 -  0.36

= 0.82

Hence, the probability that the teenager owns a skateboard or a bicycle is  0.82.

the five is the numerator
