You are flying out of Terminal 3 at JFK on a Wednesday afternoon between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. You get stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the airport,
and if it takes you longer than 12 minutes to clear security, you'll miss your flight. The probability that you'll miss your flight is
You have arrived at the airport and have been waiting 10 minutes at the security checkpoint. Recall that if you spend more than 12 minutes clearing
security, you will miss your flight. Now what is the probability that you'll miss your flight?

- please solve this problem step by step and make it quick pleasearrow_forwardWHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?arrow_forwardA common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute. Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time.
