Of the 30 people riding the bus to work today, 3 rode a bike to work yesterday, 7 drove a car to work yesterday, and the rest rode the bus to work yesterday. If one of the 30 people riding the bus to work today is selected at random, what is the probability that the person selected will ride the bus to work tomorrow?

given the sample size S= 30

3 rode a bike
