Question

The bus you take every morning always arrives anywhere from 2 minutes early to 15 minutes late and it is equally likely that it arrives during any of those minutes. suppose that you arrive at the bus stop five minutes early. what is the probability that the bus is more than ten minutes late?

Answer 1

100% because you get there 5 minutes early and the bus can only be 2 minutes early and after that so 100% chance you get the bus.                                                  i hope it's help for u

Answer 2

Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, you have to consider the probability as $\frac{possibilites}{total}$

Therefore, the possibility that the bus arrives more than 10 minutes late is given by the maximum waiting time (15 minutes) minus 10 minutes, 10-15=5

The total number of possibilities for the bus to arrive is given by the 15 minutes, plus the 2 minutes it could arrive early, therefore 15+2=17

This expressed as the probability would be 5/17
