A golfer, Bob, has been playing golf for 19 years. Bob has played an average of 11 rounds per year with each round lasting an average of 4 hours. One day Bob is playing alone. He turns a corner to another golf hole and sees another golfer, Jane, about to tee off. Jane is also playing alone. Jane tees off within 30 seconds of Bob turning the corner and hits a hole in one. Bob has never seen a hole in one. Is this enough information to determine the chances of Bob witnessing Jane's hole in one? If so, how would it be determined? Thank you, Nate
I bought some golfing socks once. I had to send them back after I had worn them only once, because I got a hole in one. I hope that helps you do your math homework. I hate these Bob and Jane verbalized-math problems. Why can't we have Ahmed and Soraya?
@centrox,
Maybe Ahmed don't play golf?

Jane told me she hates golf.
This is a true story. I tried to edit the post and state that it is a true story not a math problem but I wasn't able to.
@centrox,
That's okay. You didn't like Jane, anyway.
What really throws me are the relationship question where this guy; let's call him A goes out with X, and later discovers that X is married to Z. My simple mind is not able to keep up with this.
