Question

Suppose that you have already been waiting for 1 hour for a taxi. What is the probability that one arrives within the next 10 minutes g

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

Given that the total number of time that you have been waiting is 1 hour

which is equivalent to 60minutes which is the sample space

and the sample size which is 10 minutes.

then the probability of a taxi arriving in 10minutes seeing that you have been waiting for over 60minutes is

Pr(taxi arrives in 10 min)= 10/60= 1/6

thus the probability is 1/6

kindly let me know if you need further clarifications to this
