Of the travelers arriving at a small airport, 60% fly on major airlines, 30% fly on privately owned planes, and the remainder fly on commercially owned planes not belonging to a major airline. Of those traveling on major airlines, 50% are traveling for business reasons, whereas 60%of those arriving on private planes and 90%of those arriving on other commercially owned planes are traveling for business reasons. Suppose that we randomly select one person arriving at this airport. What is the probability that the person a is traveling on business? b is traveling for business on a privately owned plane? c arrived on a privately owned plane, given that the person is traveling for business reasons?
