There are 4 red cars and 6 blue cars parked in the car park at bens work place. On a transporter lorry travelling along side Ben on the motorway, there are 5 cars, 3 of which are red. In which situation is red most likely?

red is most likely in the second situation because it is closer to a whole than the first. i think

If the question asks, "in which situation is a car chosen at random most likely to be red?", then the answer is on the transporter lorry

Car Park: 4 red, 10 cars total, 40% are red.

Transporter Lorry: 3 red, 5 cars total, 60% are red
