When Sophia's mom picks her up from

school, she is late one third of the time. For

Answer:

20.92 %.

Explanation:

Add the individual probability of 0, 1, 2, and 3 late days out of 15

P(0 days) = (2/3)15 Notice that I have made P the probability of NOT being late.

P(1 day) = 15(2/3)14(1/3)

Hope this helps!
