3. You are waiting for a bus at a bus stop. There are actually two buses that stop here. The one you want will arrive at a uniformly random time within the next 30 minutes. There is also a different bus, which will arrive at a uniformly random time within the next 60 minutes. Given that exactly one of the buses arrives within the next 5 minutes, what is the probability that it is the one you want? (Note: we want a conditional probability here-
