The probability that you missed your friend’s call is 1/6

How to determine the probability?

The range is given as:

Range = 3:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M.

The number of minutes in the range is:

Total = 120 minutes

At 3:20 that you notice the phone is off the hook, the number of minutes missed is:

Time missed = 20 minutes

The probability is then calculated as:

P = 20/120

Evaluate

P = 1/6

Hence, the probability that you missed your friend’s call is 1/6
