Question

Jaquelyn wants to start getting to school on time more often. She is looking at some of her habits.
On Monday, she is late twenty percent of the time.

When she is late on Monday, she is late on Tuesday 60% of the time.

When she is not late on Monday, she is late on Tuesday 20% of the time.

What is the approximate probability that Jaquelyn will be late on Tuesday, given she was late to school on Monday?

Answer 1

Given that Jaquelyn was tardy on Monday, there is a 12 percent chance she will be late on Tuesday as well.

What is the Probability?

How likely it is that a stated event would occur is assessed using probability. The event would have a probability of 1 if it happened with certainty. The probability of an occurrence would be zero if it were absolutely guaranteed that it would not occur.

As getting late on Monday and Tuesday are independent events, their probabilities can be multiplied.

So the probability of getting late on Tuesday, given she was late to school on Monday = Probability of being late on Monday x Probability of she being late on Monday and she is late on Tuesday 60% of the time.

= 0.2 x 0.6

= 0.12

Thus the approximate probability that Jaquelyn will be late on Tuesday, given she was late to school on Monday will be  0.12
