Answer:

See image attached for complete answer

Explanation:

The attached image shows the calculation of probabilities for each branch

I believe it is self-explanatory

Since P(bus to shops) = 0.4, P(walk to shops ) = 1- 0.4 = 0.6

Since P(bus from shops) = 0.7, P(walk from shops) = 1- 0.7 = 0.3

The probabilities at the leaves of the tree(rightmost entries) show the combined probabilities of to and from

For example if she takes a bus to the shops and takes a bus from the shops, the combined probability = 0.4 x 0.7 = 0.28

If she walks to the shops and takes a bus from the shops the combined probability = 0.6 x 0.7 = 0.42

The other two probabilities can be computed the same way

The probability that she walks at least one way
= P(walking to shop) or P(walking from shop)

= sum of the probabilities in the yellow shaded boxes

= 0.12 + 0.42 + 0.18

= 0.72
