question 200

Short Answer

SCENARIO 4-17
Jake woke up late in the morning on the day that he has to go to school to take an important test. He
can either take the shuttle bus which is usually running late 20% of the time or ride his unreliable
motorcycle which breaks down 40% of the time. He decides to toss a fair coin to make his choice.
-Referring to Scenario 4-17, if Jake, in fact, gets to the test on time, what is the probability that he
took the bus?
