Question 1
1.

Q1.
On a work day, the probability that Mr Van Winkel wakes up early is 4/5. If he wakes up early, the probability that he is on time for work is p. If he wakes up late, the probability that he is on time for work is 1/4

(a) Draw the tree diagram for the above given data.

Question 2
2.

The probability that Mr Van Winkel arrives on time for work is 3/5. (b) Find the value of p.

Question 3
3.

Q2.
Peter either walks or cycles to work. The probability that he walks is 0.25.
If Peter walks to work, the probability that he is late is 0.1. If he cycles to work, the probability that he is late is 0.05.
(a) Draw the tree diagram for the above given data.

Question 4
4.

On a day chosen at random, Peter walked to work.
Write down the probability that he was on time.

Question 5
5.

For a different day, also chosen at random,
