Higher June 2023 Unit 1 Q7
7. Whitney walks, cycles or travels on the bus to work each day.
On any randomly chosen day:
- the probability that she walks to work is 0·25
- the probability that she cycles to work is 0·45.
At work, the probability that there will be a fire drill on any randomly chosen day is 0·04.
How Whitney travels to work is independent of whether or not there is a fire drill.
(a) Complete the tree diagram shown below. [3]

(b) On a randomly chosen day, what is the probability that Whitney walks to work and there is a fire drill? [2]
