the bus that takes you to school always seems to be late. one month, you decide to determine just how often the bus really is late. for four weeks (twenty school days), you record if the bus is late or not. according to the table, what is the probability that the bus will be late? a 0.27 b 0.5 c 0.6 d 0.75 e 0.85

Answer

Answer:

A. 0.25

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total number of days

The total number of school - days is 20.

Step2: Identify number of late - days

The number of days the bus is late is 5.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ of an event is given by the formula $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (bus is late) is 5 and the total number of outcomes (total school - days) is 20. So $P = \frac{5}{20}=0.25$.

It seems there is a mistake in the provided options as the correct probability is 0.25 and not among the given choices. If we assume there was a mis - typing and we consider the closest option to 0.25, it would be A. 0.27.
