The probability that you will have missed your friend is 27.78%

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The time of meeting is given as:

Time = 90 minutes (i.e 12pm and 1:30pm)

Your time of arrival is given as:

Arrival = 12:25pm

If you missed your friend, it means that your friend arrives earlier.

So, the time spent by your friend is:

Friend= 12:25 - 12 = 25 minutes

The probability that you will have missed your friend is:

P = 25 minutes/90 minutes

Evaluate

P = 27.78%

Hence, the probability that you will have missed your friend is 27.78%
