60% of the boys at the school arrive by car
80% of the girls at the school arrive by car
what is the probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car? give your answer as a decimal

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

  • 74%

Explanation:

You can build a two-way relative frequency table to represent the data:

These are the columns and rows:

               Car         No car      Total

Boys

Girl

Total

Fill the table

  • 30% of the children at the school are boys

             Car         No car      Total

Boys                                       30%

Girl

Total

  • 60% of the boys at the school arrive by car

That is 60% of 30% = 0.6 × 30% = 18%

             Car         No car      Total

Boys      18%                         30%

Girls

Total

By difference you can fill the cell of Boy and No car: 30% - 18% = 12%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl

Total

Also, you know that the grand total is 100%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl

Total                                     100%

By difference you fill the total of Girls: 100% - 30% = 70%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl                                         70%

Total                                     100%

  • 80% of the girls at the school arrive by car

That is 80% of  70% = 0.8 × 70% = 56%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl       56%                         70%

Total                                     100%

Now you can finish filling in the whole table calculating the differences:

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl        56%         14%         70%

Total     74%          26%      100%

Having the table completed you can find any relevant probability.

The probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car is the total of the column Car: 74%.

That is because that column represents the percent of boys and girls that that  arrive by car: 18% of the boys, 56% of the girls, and 74% of all the the children.

A) 1 to 100
B) 0 and 10
C) 0 and 1

that expresses the likelihood that an event ______ occur.
A) Can
B) Cannot

Answers

For a chance event to occur, the probability of that event will be between A. 1 to 100.

This probability is a measure of the likelihood that the event A. Can occur.

What is the probability of a chance event?

A chance event is an event that has a certain probability of occurring. This probability will be between 1% and 100% depending on the likelihood of the event occuring.

If there exists a probability between 1% and 100% then it means that the event has a likelihood of occuring. If it didn't have such a likelihood, the probability would be 0.

Simplify 4/16 to lowest terms and find and equivalent fraction that has a denominator of 32

Answers

The equivalent fraction of given fraction is  (8)/(32).

Given fraction is,  (4)/(16)

It is observed that both numerator and denominator of given fraction is divisible by 4.

Simplest form of  (4)/(16) is,

                          (4)/(16)=(4*1)/(4*4)  =(1)/(4)

Equivalent fraction that has a denominator of 32 is,

                  (1)/(4)=(1*8)/(4*8)=(8)/(32)
