Question 1210439
.
Trey wakes up late on average 4 days out of every 5. If Trey wakes up late, the probability that he is late 
for school is 90%. 
If Trey doesn't wake up late the probability that he is late for school is 25%. 
Create a tree diagram by entering the percentages and then calculate the percent chance 
that Trey gets to school on time.
Enter your answers as a decimal or fraction between 0 and 1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



        I will not create a tree diagram.   Instead, I will use my logic skills.



<pre>
First, we have 4 days out every 5 days, when Trey wakes up late.
In these 4 days, the probability that Trey gets school on time is (1-0.9) = 0.1.


So, these 4 days contribute  {{{(4/5)*0.1}}} = 0.8*0.1 = 0.08  to the sough probability.



Next, we have 1 day out every 5 days when Trey doesn't wake up late.
In this day, the probability he gets the school on time is (1-0.25) = 0.75.


So, this remarkable day contributes  {{{(1/5)*0.75}}} = 0.2*0.75 = 0.15  to the sough probability.


Now we add two partial probabilities  0.08  and  0.15,  and we get the answer

    P = 0.08 + 0.15 = 0.23.


At this point, we complete the solution.

Solved.
