To solve the problem, we will use the binomial probability formula. The binomial probability formula is given by: \[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k} \] Where: - \( n \) = number of trials (in this case, patients) - \( k \) = number of successes (patients allergic to weeds) - \( p \) = probability of success on an individual trial ...

A doctor is to visit a patient. From the past experience, it is known that the probabilities that he will come by train, bus , scooter or by other means of transportation are respectiely 3/10,1/5,1/10 or 2/5 . The probabilities that he will be late are 1/4,1/3 and 1/12 if he comes by train, bus and scooter respectively but if he comes by other means of transport, then he will not be late. If the arrives late, find the probability that he comes by train.
