Question

In a certain study comma the chance of encountering a car crash on the roadstudy, the chance of encountering a car crash on the road is stated as 66​%. Express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusive.

Answer 1

The probability is 0.66.

Explanation:

Given,

The chance of encountering a car crash on the road is stated as 66​%,

That is, out of 100% cases the percentage of the number of car crash cases is 66%,

⇒ Total outcomes = 100%, favourable outcome = 66 %

So, the probability of occurrence a car crash =
`(66\%)/(100\%)`

`=(66/100)/(100/100)`

`=(66)/(100)`

`=0.66`

Where, 0 < 0.66 < 1.

Hence, the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusive is 0.66.
