The two-way table below gives the thousands of commuters in Massachusetts in 2015 by transportation method and one-way length of commute.  

[tex]\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c|c|c|c|c}$Transport Mode/Minutes&$Less than 15&15-29&30-44& 45-59&$60 or more &$Total\\---&---&---&---&---&---&---\\$Private vehicle & 636&908&590&257&256&2647\\$Public Transportation&9&54&96&62&108&329 \\$Other&115&70&23&7&7&222\\---&---&---&---&---&---&---\\$Total&760&1032&709&326&371 &3198 \end{array}\right|[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{108}{329}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table above

Total Number of commuters who used public transportation=329

Number of commuters who spent 60 or more minutes on public transportation=108

Therefore:

Given that a commuter used public transportation,  the probability that the commuter had a commute of 60 or more minutes:

P ( 60 + minutes ∣ public transportation ) = [tex]\dfrac{108}{329}[/tex]
