1. Consider the following scenario. 1

Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. She majored in philosophy. As a student, she was
deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in anti-nuclear
demonstrations.
Which of the following is more probable? Justify your reasoning.
A. Linda is a bank teller.
B. Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement.

3. Xander and Yves must make a 20 km journey. 3

They are to start together, and must arrive at the destination at same time.
They have a single bicycle, which they ride in turns.

Each time a rider dismounts he leaves the bike by the side of the road, and walks on,
while the other one eventually arrives at the bike and jumps on it.

Xander walks at 4 km/h and cycles at 10 km/h,

while Yves walks at 5km/h and cycles at 8 km/h.

Assuming that both men are either walking or cycling at those speeds,
and never stop to rest, how much of the journey does Xander cycle?
