A meteorologist reports that there is a 30% chance the temperature will fall below freezing tomorrow. On any given day, the bus has a 60% chance of being late.

Assuming the bus travels independently of temperature, what is the probability that a passenger would be waiting for a late bus in freezing weather?

Respuesta :

Answer:  18%

===========================================================

Explanation:

Convert each percentage to decimal form

  • 30% converts to 0.30
  • 60% converts to 0.60

Then multiply the decimal values

0.30*0.60 = 0.18

That converts to 18%

So there's an 18% chance that both events happen at the same time. In other words, there's an 18% chance of the temperature falling below zero and the bus being late.
