a) 0.5
b) 0.6
c) 0.7
d) 0.8

Answer 1

To find the probability of event A, which is the event that the place chosen from the given table is a city, we divide the number of cities in the table by the total number of places.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of event A, which is the event that the place chosen from the given table is a city, we need to know the total number of places in the table that are cities and the total number of places in the table.

From the given table, we can see that the places that are cities are New York, Tijuana, and Canada. So, there are 3 cities out of the total number of places in the table.

Since we don't have information about the total number of places in the table, we cannot determine the exact probability of event A. Therefore, we cannot choose any of the given options (a, b, c, or d) as the answer.
