month, he only rides to work for 18 days. If he rides to work, the probability that he is bitten by a
rabid dog is 4/15 otherwise its only 1/13. When he is bitten by the dog, the probability that he will get
treatment is 4/5 and if he does not get treatment the probability that he will get rabies is 5/7.
(a) Draw a tree diagram to show the events
(b) Using the tree diagram in (a) above, determine the probability that
(i) Karanja will not be bitten by a rabid dog
(ii) He will get rabies
(iii) He will not get rabies if he does not get treatment
