Question

Parked in the lot beside a local grocery store are 2 red cars, 9 white cars, 3 black cars, 1 blue car, and 6 brown cars, all belonging to shoppers in the store. assuming the shoppers leave randomly, what is the probability that the first two cars to leave are white?

Answer 1

It would be about 18.37%.

Answer 2

probability that the first two cars to leave are white 2
`(2)/(21)`.

Explanation:

Given : Parked in the lot beside a local grocery store are 2 red cars, 9 white cars, 3 black cars, 1 blue car, and 6 brown cars, all belonging to shoppers in the store.

To find : what is the probability that the first two cars to leave are white?

Solution : red cars = 2.

White cars = 9.

Black cars = 3.

Blue car = 1.

Brown cars = 6.

Total cars in store = 21 .

Number of two cars to leave are white.

P(A ) = Number of favourable outcome / Total number of favourable outcomes)

.

Probability that the first two cars to leave are white =
`(2)/(21)`.

Therefore, probability that the first two cars to leave are white
`(2)/(21)`.
