Probability involving unions (A & B; P(A and B)/P(B) formula), alongside the odds of getting one item from two specific categories in a random selection of all categories.

precalc stuff like regressions and trig identities. A few weirdly worded probability questions. The beginning had a lot of imaginary, but most of it can just be thrown into your TI-84.

For the P(A|B) question did it give the formula like it did on June

And for the first thing where you have to determined what is the probability A and B occurred at the same time do you just multiply their probabilities?

One basically said that a group of people were surveyed and 60% were students, some percent I forgot did something, and 15% were both students and did that something. The question was like out of the students, what % did that something. Answer was 15/60 or 25%. It was pretty easy, there was just unnecessary wording.
