Answer:

C) 0.880

Step-by-step explanation:

-The probability of setting his alarm is 1-0.1=0.9

-The probability of being in time is therefore calculated as:

[tex]P=P(set\ alarm)P(In \ time)+P(Not \ set \ alarm)P(in \ time)\\\\=0.9\times 0.95+0.1\times 0.25\\\\=0.88[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the professor shows up in time is 0.88
