Answer:

To find the probability that on two consecutive mornings the person will miss the bus at least one morning, we can use the complement rule. The complement of missing the bus is catching the bus. Therefore, the probability of missing the bus on both mornings is (0.4) x (0.4) = 0.16. The probability of not missing the bus on both mornings is (1 - 0.4) x (1 - 0.4) = 0.36. To find the probability of missing the bus at least one morning, we can subtract the probability of not missing the bus on both mornings from 1: P(missing bus at least once) = 1 - P(not missing bus on both mornings) P(missing bus at least once) = 1 - 0.36 P(missing bus at least once) =
