Answer:

Answer is 0.3

Explanation:

Let the probability that the train arrives on time. = p

The probability that the train leaves on time = 0.8

The probability that the train leaves on time and arrives on time = 0.24

Then the equation will be:

0.8 * p = 0.24

Move the constant value to the R.H.S

p = 0.24/0.8

p = 0.3

Thus the probability is 0.3....
