A sunday night sports show is on from 10:00 to 10:30 . You want to find out if your favorite team won this weekend. you turn it on at 10:14. The score will be annouced at random one time during the show. What is the probability that you haven't missed the report about your favorite show?

Respuesta :

Here's how to calculate the probability:
* Show duration: 30 minutes (10:30 - 10:00)
* You tune in at: 14 minutes into the show
* Time remaining: 16 minutes (30 - 14)
Since the score is announced randomly, the probability of not missing the report is directly proportional to the amount of time remaining in the show.
Probability of not missing the report: (Time remaining) / (Total show duration) = 16/30 = 8/15 ≈ 0.533
Therefore, the probability that you haven't missed the report about your favorite team is approximately 0.533 or about a 53% chance.
