In my town, it's rainy one third of the days. 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 ¼. You pick a random day: a. What is the probability that it's not raining and there is heavy traffic, and I am not late? b. What is the probability that I am late? c. Given that I arrived late at work, what is the probability that it rained that day?
