You can win concert tickets from a radio station if you are the first person to call when the song of the day is played, or if you are the first person to correctly answer the trivia question. The song of the day is played between 5:00 and 5:30 pm. The trivia question is asked between 5:15 and 5:45 pm. You begin listening to the radio station at 5:20. Find the probability that you missed the song of the day and the trivia question.
------------------------------------------------------
30 minutes for song of the day
30 minutes for trivia question.
15 minutes when they both might occur
45 minutes during which one or the other occurred
---------------------
time you listened when either happened is 25 minutes
----
Prob you heard either DISABLED_event_one= (25/45)
-----------------------------------------
Prob you missed both = 1-(25/45) = 1-(5/9) = 4/9
