3a)
P(Ann receives $20)
= P(brother pick $10) * P(sister pick $10)
= 3/4 * 2/4
= 3/8
b) P(Ann receives less than $15)
= 1 - P(Ann receives $20) - P(Ann receives $15)
= 1 - 3/8 - P(brother pick $10) * P(sister pick $5)
= 1 - 3/8 - 3/4 * 1/2
= 1/4
Method 2 :
= 1 - P(brother pick $10) * P(sister pick any coin)
= 1 - 3/4 * 1
= 1/4

4)P(he can get on the bus without waiting)
= 3/15 (Since waits 3 minutes in every 15 minutes)
= 1/5

5)
P(he will meet Betty there)
= P(he enter Cafe from 3:20p.m. to 3:45p.m.)
= (45 - 20) / 60
= 5/12
