There are two roads from A to B and two roads from B to C. Each of the four roads is blocked by snow with probability $p$, independently of the others. (a) Find the probability that there is an open route from A to C.

Probability Question: There are two highways from City A to City B. Route 1 is on flat terrain, whereas Route 2 is a scenic route that goes through mountainous terrain. During severe winter seasons, one or both routes may be closed to traffic because of heavy snowfalls. Route 2 is obviously more likely to be closed than Route 1 during the winter months. The condition of Route 1 during a severe storm may depend on whether or not Route 2 is open to traffic. Suppose, during a severe storm, the probabilities that the routes will be open are P(R1) = 0.75, P(R2) = 0.50, P(R1∩R2) = 0.40. 1. If Route 2 is open during a snowstorm, find the probability that Route 1 is also open. 2. If Route 2 is closed during a severe snowstorm, find the probability that Route 1 is also closed.

The route used by a driver in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is. $4,$ the analogous probability for the second signal is. $5,$ and the probability that he must stop at one or more of the two signals is $.6 .$ What is the probability that he must stop (a) At both signals? (b) At the first signal but not at the second one? (c) At exactly one signal?
