Question

Please use the diagram above to solve the following 5 problems.

1. If the probability value of 'B' is 15% (it is not, but assume that it is), then what is the probability of reaching Point 'C'?

2. If the probability value of 'H' is 1% (it is not, but assume that it is), then what is the probability of reaching Point 'G'? Express your answer as a percentage to one decimal place.

3. As a percentage to one decimal place, what is the probability of reaching Point 'E'?

4. What is the probability value of 'H' expressed as whole percentage points (e.g., 50%)?

5. If the probability value of 'H' is 22% (it is not, but assume that it is), then what is the probability of reaching Point 'G'? Express your answer as a percentage to one decimal place.

40% 3 65% 3 90% 10%

Explanation / Answer

1)P(reaching point C) =P(B) = 15%

2)P(reaching point G)= 0.3*0.01 =0.003~ 0.3%

3) P(E) =0.4*0.35+0.3*0.1=0.17 ~ 17%

4)P(H) =0.00% (as sum of other probabilites on that node is equal to 1)

5) P(G) =0.3*0.22=0.066 ~ 6.6%
