[4 marks] When going to the airport, Sam uses a taxi from one of three taxi companies, F G or T. He calls Company F, 30% of the time, Company G, 25% of the time and Company T, 45% of the time. A taxi from Company F arrives late 3% of the time, that from Company G, 5% of the time and that from Company T, 10% of the time. () Determine the probability that when Sam calls for a taxi it arrives late.
