Question

At joe’s restaurant, one fourth of the patrons are males and one fifth of the patrons are from out of town. What proportion would you expect to be a male and out of town?

Answer 1

Hey!

The probability of being a male is
`(1)/(4)`. The probability of being from out of town is
`(1)/(5)`.

Multiply both probabilities:

`(1)/(4) * (1)/(5) = (1)/(20)`

Your answer is
`(1)/(20)`

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
