Question

Probability that a bus stops by mall within 20 minutes is 80% (0.8). John decides to wait only 5 minutes before he starts walking home. What is the likelihood that he'll catch a bus during his short wait?

Answer 1

I think the answer is 20%

Answer 2

The likelihood that he'll catch a bus during his short wait is 0.5

What is probability?

The probability exists in the analysis of the possibilities of the event of a result, which exists acquired by the ratio between favorable cases and probable cases.

Given: The probability that a bus stops for 20 minutes exists at 80% (0.8). John decides to wait only 5 minutes before he starts walking home.

0.8/20 = x/5

x/5 = 0.8/20

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, then we get

(x/5)10 = (0.8/20)10

2x = 2/5

Therefore, x =1/5 = 0.5.
