Question

a sample of 500 adults were surveyed on their interest in winter activities. 113 of those studied do not like cold weather, yet 125 of those studied said that they had interest in taking skiing lessons. Based on this sample, if an adult is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she has no desire to taking skiing lessons? express your answer as a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample = 500

Not like cold weather = 113

Interested in taking skilling knowledge = 125

The probability that a random person has no desire of taking the skiling lessons = 1 minus the probability that a random person has the desire of taking the skilling lessons.

The probability that a random person has the desire of taking the skiling lessons. = 125/500

The probability that a random person has no desire of taking the skiling lessons is = 1 - 125/500

= 375/500

= 3/4
