4 Gary and his neighbour Larry work at the same place.
On any day when Gary travels to work, he uses one of three options: his car only, a bus only or both his car and a bus. The probability that he uses his car, either on its own or with a bus, is 0.6 . The probability that he uses both his car and a bus is 0.25 .
- Calculate the probability that, on any particular day when Gary travels to work, he:
- does not use his car;
- uses his car only;
- uses a bus.
- On any day, the probability that Larry travels to work with Gary is 0.9 when Gary uses his car only, is 0.7 when Gary uses both his car and a bus, and is 0.3 when Gary uses a bus only.
- Calculate the probability that, on any particular day when Gary travels to work, Larry travels with him.
- Assuming that option choices are independent from day to day, calculate, to three decimal places, the probability that, during any particular week (5 days) when Gary travels to work every day, Larry never travels with him.
