Answer:

0.2 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the times of arrival vary uniformly, there is an equal chance of an employee reporting at any given time between 8:40 and 9:30.

The range between 8:40 and 9:30 is 50 minutes.

The range between 9:00 and 9:10 is 10 minutes.

Therefore, the  probability that a randomly chosen employee reports to work between 9:00 and 9:10 is:

P(9:00\leq X\leq 9:10)=\frac{10}{50}=0.20=20\%

The probability is 0.2 or 20%.

1) If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling a 4: Rolling a 4 is an event with 1 favorable outcome (a roll of 4) and the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (a roll of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Thus, the probability of rolling a 4 is \frac{1}{6}.

If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling at least a 4: Rolling at least 4 is an event with 3 favorable outcomes (a roll of 4, 5, or 6) and the total number of possible outcomes is again 6. Thus, the probability of rolling at least a 4 is \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}.

<h3>Here are two more examples: </h3>

If a coin is flipped twice, determine the probability that it will land heads both times:

Favorable outcomes: 1 -- HH

Possible outcomes: 4 -- HH, HT, TH, TT

Thus, the probability that the coin will land heads both times is \frac{1}{4}.

If Dan grabs one sock from a drawer containing 3 white socks, 4 blue socks, and 5 yellow socks, what is the probability that he will grab a white sock?

Favorable outcomes: 3 (3 white socks)

Possible outcomes: 12 (3 white socks + 4 blue socks + 5 yellow socks)

Thus, the probability that Dan will grab a white sock is \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}.
