Alexia wants' to start taking the light rail train to work. She wants to be late no more than 5% of the time. The light rail train claims to be on time 24 out of 25 times. Should Alexia take the light rail train to work?

Answer :

Yes, Alexa can take the light rail train to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of times, the light rail is on time = 24 times out of 25 times

So, the probability of train reaching on time  =  [tex](\frac{24}{25} )[/tex]

Let us assume the total number of days train is on time  = k

Also, total number of days train woks  = 100

Now, as per given condition, the probability of train being on time should be equal to the number of days, train is on time.

[tex]\implies \frac{k}{100} = \frac{24}{25} \\\implies k = 96[/tex]

So, the train is on time 96 days out of total 100 days.

So, the percentage of train being on time = 96%

The percentage of train being late  = (100 - 96) % = 4%

Also, the percentage of time she can be late to work = 5%

and 4% < 5%

Yes, Alexa can take the light rail train to work.
