If the probability of observing at least one car on a highway during any 20-minute time interval is 609/625, then the probability of observing at least one car during any 5-minute time interval is 609/2500
Given The probability of observing at least one car on a highway during any 20 minute time interval is 609/625.
We have to find the probability of observing at least one car during any 5 minute time interval.
Probability is the likeliness of happening an event among all the events possible. It is calculated as number/ total number. Its value lies between 0 and 1.
Probability during 20 minutes interval=609/625
Probability during 1 minute interval=609/625*20
=609/12500
Probability during 5 minute interval=(609/12500)*5
=609/2500
Hence the probability of observing at least one car during any 5 minute time interval is 609/2500.
