John and Ted have a reputation for being late to events. If
John is late 20% of the time, and Ted is late 40% of the
time, what is the probability that both John and Ted will be
on time? Show your work or explain how you got your
answer.
To find the probability that both John and Ted will be on time, we need to multiply the individual probabilities of them being on time.
The probability that John will be on time is 1 - 0.20 = 0.80
The probability that Ted will be on time is 1 - 0.40 = 0.60
Therefore, the probability that both John and Ted will be on time is 0.80 * 0.60 = 0.48.
So, there is a 48% chance that both John and Ted will be on time.
