Question

The table shows whether a bus pass is a child's or an adult's pass and whether it is a daily or monthly pass. One bus pass is randomly selected.

What is the probability that the pass is a daily pass?

Write the probability as a percent.

Round to the nearest tenth of a percent as needed.

Answer 1

31/61 or 50.8 percent
the daily passes added together are 31 passes for adults and children. Adding everything together gives us the denominator of the fraction 61. 31/61 = 50.8%.

Answer 2

The probability is
`(31)/(51)` or 60.8%

Explanation:

The given table shows the daily or monthly passes of children or adults. One bus pass is randomly selected.

The daily passes are
`8+23=31`

The monthly passes are
`5+15=20`

Total passes in all are
`31+20=51`

Now, we have to find the probability that the one randomly selected pass is a daily pass.

The probability is =
`(31)/(51)`

In percentage it is =
`(31)/(51) *100` = 60.78% or rounding to nearest tenth, we get 60.8%.
