Question

If the probability of observing at least one car on a highway during any 20-minute time interval is 609/625, then what is the probability of observing at least one car during any 5-minute time interval

Answer 1

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.
