Question

A fair provides a shuttle bus from a parking lot to the fair entrance. Buses arrive at the parking lot every 10 minutes. They wait for 4 minutes while passengers get on and get off. Then the buses depart.

What is the probability that there is not a bus waiting when a passenger arrives at a random time?

  1. fraction numerator 1 over denominator 10 end fraction    
  2. fraction numerator 1 over denominator 5 end fraction    
  3. fraction numerator 2 over denominator 5 end fraction    
  4. fraction numerator 3 over denominator 5 end fraction    

hintHint:

 

The correct answer is: fraction numerator 3 over denominator 5 end fraction


    The question asks us to find the probability that there is not a bus waiting when a passenger arrives at a random time
    Probability = fraction numerator T i m e blank e x c l u d i n g blank t h e blank w a i t blank t i m e over denominator T o t a l blank t i m e end fraction =fraction numerator 6 over denominator 10 end fraction = fraction numerator 3 over denominator 5 end fraction

    Therefore the probability that there is not a bus waiting when a passenger arrives at random time is 3/5
