- 4arrow_forwardFunding for many schools comes from taxes based on assessed values of local properties. People's homes are assessed higher if they have extra features such as 0 paved driveways and fireplaces.

The Addition Rule might suggest, then, that 55% of residences have a paved driveway or a fireplace. What is wrong with that reasoning? Choose the correct answer below. O A. The reasoning is correct. Thus, 55% of homes have either a paved driveway or a fireplace. O B. The sum of the probabilities of the two given events does not equal 1, so this is not a legitimate probability assignment. 03 O C. A home may have a paved driveway and a fireplace. The events are not disjoint, so the Addition Rule does not apply. O D. If a home has a paved driveway or a fireplace, it can influence another homeowner to add a paved driveway or a fireplace. The events are not independent, so the…arrow_forwardiv.
