Question 1180784: A student after lectures at a university can come back home either by a trolleybus or by a tram. He goes differently: he chooses a trolleybus for 2/5 cases and a tram for 3/5 cases. If he goes by a trolleybus, he comes back home to four o'clock in the afternoon in 70 % of cases, and if he goes by a tram, he comes back - only in 65 % of cases. What is the probability that he will come back home by four o'clock for a randomly taken day?

    This probability is  %282%2F5%29%2A0.70+%2B+%283%2F5%29%2A0.65 = 0.4*0.70 + 0.6*0.65 = 0.67.      ANSWER

Solved.
