Answer: 3.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that Shania is on time for school is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Since the each day is independent of other.

Then , the probability that Shania arrives on time for school for the next 5 days will be :_

[tex]=(\dfrac{1}{2})^5=\dfrac{1}{32}=0.03125\approx3.125\%\approx3.1\%[/tex]

Hence, the  probability that Shania arrives on time for school for the next 5 days.  = 3.1 %
