Answer: 0.705

Hello!

________________________

Sheila either walks or cycles to school the probability that she walks to school is 0.705

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability she walks and is not late = 0.65 * 0.60 = 0.39.

Probability she cycles and is not late = 0.35*0.9 = 0.315

Therefore P(not late) = 0.39 + 0.315 = 0.705

Hope this helped you!
