A building contains two elevators, one fast and one slow. The average waiting time for the slow elevator is 3 min. and the average waiting time of the fast elevator is 1 min. If a passenger chooses the fast elevator with probability 2/ 3 and the slow elevator with probability 1/ 3 , what is the expected waiting time?
