José travels to school on a bus. On any day, the probability that José will miss the bus is \(\frac13\). If he misses his bus, the probability that he will be late for school is \(\frac78\). If he does not miss his bus, the probability that he will be late is \(\frac38\). Let \(E\) be the event “he misses his bus” and \(F\) the event “he is late for school”. The information is shown on the following tree diagram.
José missed his bus, given that he is late for school. The cost for each day that José catches the bus is \(3\) euros. José goes to school on Monday and Tuesday.
| \(X\) (cost in euros) | \(0\) | \(3\) | \(6\) |
|---|---|---|---|
| \(P(X)\) | \(\frac{1}{9}\) |
