Question

The tree diagram relates snowfall and school closings. Find the following probability. Let H, L, O, and C represent heavy snowfall, light snowfall, school open, and schools closed, respectively. P(L and C) = _______.

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given the probability tree below:

We are required to find the probability of L and C.

So,

$P(L\text{ and C)=P(L)}\times P(C)=0.6\times0.6=0.36$

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.36
