In: Statistics and Probability
a company has accumulated statistics over the past years to
determine the average waiting time (in minutes) on major bus routes depending on the time of
day. Here are the statistics observed:
Waiting time conditional upon period of the day
Wait<5
(A)
5 ≤ ???? ≤ 15
(B)
wait≥ 15
(C)
Rush hour(R) 64% 32% 4%
Midday(M) 20% 65% 15%
Evenings(E) 10% 60% 30%
Distribution of the users
Proportion of total users
Rush Hours(R) 70%
Midday(M) 25%
Evenings(E) 5%
A)(1 mark)Find a partition for event A
B)Find the probability that a person will wait less than 5 minutes
C)Knowing a given person has waited at least 15 minutes, find the probability that this
person took the bus in the evening.
