Q. 3030 adults booked to stay in a hotel. \newline1919 adults booked breakfast \newline1515 adults booked dinner \newline44 adults did not book breakfast or dinner \newlineSome adults booked breakfast and dinner. \newlineMeihui chooses at random two of the 30 adults. \newlineWork out the probability that these two adults each booked breakfast and dinner.
  1. Find Total Adults: First, let's find out how many adults booked both breakfast and dinner.\newlineTotal adults = 19301930\newlineAdults booked breakfast = 1919\newlineAdults booked dinner = 1515\newlineAdults booked neither = 44\newlineSo, adults who booked either or both = 19304=19261930 - 4 = 1926
  2. Apply Inclusion-Exclusion Principle: Now, we use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find the number who booked both.\newlineAdults who booked both = Adults booked breakfast + Adults booked dinner - Adults who booked either or both\newlineAdults who booked both = 19+15192619 + 15 - 1926
