A picnic was arranged for the members of a club. The organizer started calling all the members to find how many members would be taking part in the picnic. She could not contact 20% of them. Of the remaining members, 15% did not wish to take part and the rest wanted more time to decide. Finally, 80% of those who wanted more time to decide ended up going to the picnic.

If a member is picked up at random, the probability that he or she needed more time to decide and finally did not attend the picnic is?%, and the probability that he or she was contacted but did not attend the picnic is?%

    Answer: 13.6% needed more time but then said no. 25.6% were contacted but said no.

    To do this problem, you have to create a tree diagram with all of the possibilities.

    The first branch separates with 20% not being contacted and 80% being contacted.

    Then, the 80% branch can be broken into 12% saying no and 68% needing more time (multiply by 15% and 85%).

    Then, the 68% branch can be broken into 54.4% going and 13.6 not going (multiply by 80% and 20%).

    With the tree diagram, just pick the percents that you need.
