Answer:

1 /3

Explanation:

Total Number of routes = 6

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Probability of any one of the routes :

Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Probability of choosing any one of the routes = 1/6

Hence,

Probability of choosing either Hilltop. Drive or medical avenue =

1/6 + 1/6 = (1 + 1) / 6 = 2 /6 = 1/3
