the coin. The coin is toss three times for one turn.

(i) Show all the possible outcomes using tree diagram.

(2 marks)

(ii) Find the probability getting 3 point for one turn.

(b) In my town, the probability rainy is 1 3 . Given that it is rainy, there will be
heavy traffic with probability 1 2 , and given that it is not rainy, there will be
heavy traffic with probability 1 4 . If it's rainy and there is heavy traffic, I arrive
late for work with probability 1 2 . On the other hand, the probability of being
late is reduced to 1 8 if it is not rainy and there is no heavy traffic. In other
situations (rainy and no traffic, not rainy and traffic) the probability of being late
is 0.25. You pick a random day.

(i) Find the probability that I am late.
