Lenny’s favorite radio station has this schedule: news: 13 min. commercials: 2 min. music: 45 min. If Lenny chooses a time of day at random to turn on the radio to his favorite station, what is the probability that the news will be on?

Respuesta :

13:(45+2+13)=13:60
..................................

Answer: The probability that the news will be on  = 0.217

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of minutes given by radio station to News = 13

The total time given by radio station = [tex]13+2+45=60[/tex]

If Lenny chooses a time of day at random to turn on the radio to his favorite station, then the probability that the news will be on will be given by :-

[tex]P=\frac{\text{Number of minutes given in news}}{\text{total minutes}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\frac{13}{60}=0.217[/tex]

The probability that the news will be on  = 0.217
