A certain delivery service offers both express and standard delivery. Seventy-five percent of parcels are sent by standard delivery, and 25% are sent by express. Of those sent standard, 80% arrive the next day, and of those sent express, 95% arrive the next day. A record of a parcel delivery is chosen at random from the company's files.

    Probability, P (n) = 3/8

    Explanation: Let standard delivery be S and express delivery be E.

    I) When the parcels were sent:

    S (n) = 75/100 and E (n) = 25/100

    II) When the parcels arrived:

    S (n) ← = 80/100 and E (n) ← = 95/100

    The probability a record of a parcel delivery is chosen, P (n) = S (n) * E (n) + E (n) * S (n) = 75/100*25/100 + 25/100*75/100

    P (n) = 3/16 + 3/16 = 6/16

    ∴ P (n) = 3/8
