The probability that student X will take history in the next semester is 0.75, the probability that at least one of students X and Y will take history in the next semester is 0.94, and whether or not one of students X and Y will take history in the next semester is independent of whether or not the other of these students will take history in the next semester. What is the probability that student Y will take history in the next semester?

The formula for independent events is -
1)P(XUY)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(XnY)
2)P(XnY)=P(X) x P(Y)
Here P(XUY) is the probability that at least one event occurs and P(XnY) means that both events will occur.
So, the values given are-
P(XUY)=0.94
P(X)=0.75
0.94=.75+P(Y)-P(XnY)
0.94-0.75=P(Y)-0.75xP(Y)
0.25xP(Y)=0.19
4x0.25xP(Y)=4x0.19
P(Y)=0.56
1)P(XUY)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(XnY)
2)P(XnY)=P(X) x P(Y)
Here P(XUY) is the probability that at least one event occurs and P(XnY) means that both events will occur.
So, the values given are-
P(XUY)=0.94
P(X)=0.75
0.94=.75+P(Y)-P(XnY)
0.94-0.75=P(Y)-0.75xP(Y)
0.25xP(Y)=0.19
4x0.25xP(Y)=4x0.19
P(Y)=0.56
