Suppose a commuter has three ways to get to work: by Car, by Bus, and by Subway. Traffic is terrible, so when the commuter drives, they are late 60% of the time. By bus, they are late 20% of the time, and by Subway they are only late 10% of the time. (a)- The commuter's boss thinks the commuter is equally likely to take the Car, Bus or Subway. If the commuter is late, what does the boss think the probability is that the commuter took the Car? (b)- A fellow worker has better information and knows the commuter drives half of the time, and only takes the bus 2% of the time. If the commuter is late, what does the fellow worker think the probability is that the commuter took the Car?
