The inventory lists 80 cars, of which: 38 are foreign models 50 compact models 22 foreign compact models What is the probability that the lucky customer will win a nonforeign compact car?

Answer 1

Answer:0.625

Explanation:

Given

A lucky customer will get to randomly select a key among 80 cars

There are 38 foreign models

50 compact models

22 Foreign compact models

Probability that the lucky customer will win a non foreign compact car
`=(no.\ of\ non\ foreign\ compact\ car)/(Total\ no\ of\ car)`

`=(50)/(80)`

Answer 2

Answer: Our required probability is
`(29)/(40)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of foreign models = 38

Number of compact models = 50

Number of foreign compact model = 22

Total number of cars = 80

Probability that consumer will win foreign compact models is given by

`(22)/(80)=(11)/(40)`

so, Probability that consumer will win non foreign compact models is given by

`1-(11)/(40)\\\\=(40-11)/(40)\\\\=(29)/(40)`

Hence, our required probability is
`(29)/(40)`
