Question

A hospital near a ski resort records the types of injuries treated during ski season and other
seasons over a year. The results shown in the table will help determine the medical staff that is
required at different times of the year. According to the data in the table, what is the probability
that a patient will need to be treated for a broken bone during ski season?

Answer 1

Since they are looking at ski season only. find total injuries during sli season:

160 + 100 = 260 total

Now divide the number of broken bones during ski season by that total:

160/260 = 8/13

The answer is 8/13
