1. **State the problem:**
We have probabilities related to Steve's punctuality and weather conditions. We want to find:
(b) Probability Steve is late on a rainy day.
(c) Probability Steve is late.
(d) Probability the day is not rainy given Steve is on time.
(e)(i) Probability Steve is on time at least 3 out of 4 days.
(e)(ii) Expected weekly bonus based on punctuality.
2. **Given data:**
- $P(\text{Raining})=0.2$, $P(\text{Not Raining})=0.8$
- $P(\text{On time}|\text{Raining})=0.4$, $P(\text{Late}|\text{Raining})=0.6$
- $P(\text{On time}|\text{Not Raining})=0.7$, $P(\text{Late}|\text{Not Raining})=0.3$
3. **(b) Find $P(\text{Late} \cap \text{Raining})$:**
$$P(\text{Late} \cap \text{Raining}) = P(\text{Raining}) \times P(\text{Late}|\text{Raining}) = 0.2 \times 0.6 = 0.12$$
4. **(c) Find $P(\text{Late})$ using total probability:**
$$P(\text{Late}) = P(\text{Late} \cap \text{Raining}) + P(\text{Late} \cap \text{Not Raining})$$
$$= 0.2 \times 0.6 + 0.8 \times 0.3 = 0.12 + 0.24 = 0.36$$
5. **(d) Find $P(\text{Not Raining}|\text{On time})$ using Bayes' theorem:**
$$P(\text{On time}) = P(\text{On time} \cap \text{Raining}) + P(\text{On time} \cap \text{Not Raining})$$
$$= 0.2 \times 0.4 + 0.8 \times 0.7 = 0.08 + 0.56 = 0.64$$
$$P(\text{Not Raining}|\text{On time}) = \frac{P(\text{On time} \cap \text{Not Raining})}{P(\text{On time})} = \frac{0.8 \times 0.7}{0.64} = \frac{0.56}{0.64}$$
Intermediate step with cancellation:
$$= \frac{\cancel{0.56}}{\cancel{0.64}} = 0.875$$
6. **(e)(i) Probability Steve is on time at least 3 days out of 4:**
Let $p = P(\text{On time}) = 0.64$ from step 5.
We use the binomial distribution:
$$P(X \geq 3) = P(X=3) + P(X=4)$$
$$= \binom{4}{3} p^3 (1-p)^1 + \binom{4}{4} p^4 (1-p)^0$$
Calculate each term:
$$\binom{4}{3} = 4$$
$$P(X=3) = 4 \times (0.64)^3 \times (0.36) = 4 \times 0.262144 \times 0.36 = 0.3775$$
$$P(X=4) = 1 \times (0.64)^4 = 0.1678$$
Sum:
$$P(X \geq 3) = 0.3775 + 0.1678 = 0.5453$$
7. **(e)(ii) Expected weekly bonus:**
- Bonus for exactly 3 days on time: 400
- Bonus for exactly 4 days on time: 1000
Calculate probabilities:
$$P(X=3) = 0.3775$$
$$P(X=4) = 0.1678$$
Expected bonus:
$$E = 400 \times 0.3775 + 1000 \times 0.1678 = 151 + 168 = 319$$
**Final answers:**
(b) $0.12$
(c) $0.36$
(d) $0.875$
(e)(i) $0.5453$
(e)(ii) $319$ (nearest dollar)
