Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Find the probabilities that a randomly chosen {thing} {desc3}:

a) {dothis1} or {dothat1}.

Probability = Gap 0.

b) {desc4}.

Probability = Gap 1.

Enter both probabilities to 2 decimal places.

Advice

a) There are $\var{p1}+\var{p2}-\var{p3}=\var{p-p3}$ % of stewardesses working on one of the routes. The probability that a random stewardess is working on one of these routes is therefore $\displaystyle \frac{\var{p-p3}}{100}=\var{prob1}$ .

b) The rest are in training and the probability that a randomly selected stewardess is in training is $1-\var{prob1}=\var{1-prob1}$ .

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
