Question

In a market research survey of 2518 motorists, 252 said that they made an obscene gesture in the previous month.



If one of the surveyed motorists is randomly selected, what is the probability that this motorist did not make an obscene gesture in the previous month?

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability is 89.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 252 by 2518 and you get 10.01% but that represents the people who did make the gesture so instead you would minus 252 from 2518 and that would be 252 - 2518 = 2266 then you would divide 2266 by 2518 and you get 2266/2518 = 0.8999 which is equal to 89.99%
