Problem 1: The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two highways.
The probability that the first highway is congested is 0.4. The probability that the second highway
is congested is 0.5. If the first highway is congested then the probability that the second highway
is congested is 0.6. Determine the probability that
the first highway is not congested? (1 point)
both highways are congested? (1 point)
atleast one of the highways is congested? (2 points)
the first highway is congested but not the second highway? [Hint: The event which is being
asked is similar to the last part of the last example in Lecture 2. Write down the event and
then draw the Venn diagram to identify, how the probability can be calculated using the
information you have now.](2 points)
