Sagot :

From the given values, the probability that a mother speak French or English is given by

[tex]P(\text{mother spoke French or English)=P(mother spoke French)+P(English)}[/tex]

because the event "speak French" is independent of the event "speak English". By substituting the given values, we get

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{mother spoke French or English)=}0.673+0.275 \\ P(\text{mother spoke French or English)=}0.948 \end{gathered}[/tex]

On the other hand,

[tex]P\mleft(motherdidnotspeakEnglish\mright)=1-P\mleft(motherspeakEnglish\mright)[/tex]

which igives

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(motherdidnotspeakEnglish)=1-0.673 \\ P(motherdidnotspeakEnglish)=0.327 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer are

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{mother spoke French or English)=}0.948 \\ P(motherdidnotspeakEnglish)=0.327 \end{gathered}[/tex]
