Question

While waiting for the school bus, Michiko record the colors of all cars passing through an internection. The table shows the renuita, Fatimate the probability that thenext car through the intersection will be red. Express your answer as a percent. If necessary, round your annwor to the nearent tenth

Answer 1

Given:-

Michiko record the colors of all cars passing through an internection.

$\begin{gathered} \operatorname{Re}d-11 \\ \text{silver}-24 \\ \text{gray}-16 \\ \text{black}-9 \end{gathered}$

To find:-

Probability that the next car through the intersection will be red.

So to calculate the probabilty. we add all the number of cars and we divide 11 with that number and multiply with 100. To get the required solution.

So the total cars is,

$11+24+16+9=60$

So now we simplify. we get,

$\frac{11}{60}\times100=\frac{11}{6}\times10=\frac{110}{6}=18.3$

So the required solution is 18.3%

So the correct option is OPTION 1.
