The probability that the participant brought both a microwave and a console is 0.65.

Since a survey of 500 college students moving into their dorm revealed that 425 brought a microwave, 380 brought a video game console, and 50 brought neither a microwave nor a game console, to determine what is the probability that the participant brought both a microwave and a console the following calculation must be performed:

  • 500 = 425
  • 1 = X
  • 425/500 = X
  • 0.85 = X
  • 380/500 = X
  • 0.76 = X
  • 0.85 x 0.76 = X
  • 0.646 = X

Therefore, the probability that the participant brought both a microwave and a console is 0.65.
