elasolova · Math ·

Consider a mouse in a maze. There are four possible paths such that path 1 takes 5.32 minutes to escape, path 2 takes 3.12 minutes to espace, path 3 takes 8.24 minutes to return to same place and path 4 takes 2.35 minutes to return to same place. Given that the mouse chooses any of the four paths at random what is the expected time of escape in minutes? Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
