A mouse runs foot from an exercise wheel to the water bottle. How far does the mouse run if he runs from the wheel to the water bottle and back to the wheel?

A. P(success/age≥60) = 12.5%

B. Yes, the success is independent of age.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of success, given that a climber is at least 60 years old is calculated using conditional probability rule

P(A|B) = P(A n B)/P(B)

Probability of success given that a climber is at least 60 years old is given by

P(success|age≥60) = P(success n age ≥ 60)/P(age ≥ 60) = 0.005/0.04

= 0.125

P(success|age≥60) = 12.5%

B. The success is independent on age
