Answer 1

The probability of randomly selecting a passenger in business class from a plane with 125 passengers and 15 in business class is 0.12, or 12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a passenger chosen at random is in business class can be calculated by dividing the number of passengers in business class by the total number of passengers on the plane. There are 15 passengers in business class and 125 passengers in total on the plane.

Therefore, the probability (P) is given by:

P(business class) = Number of passengers in business class / Total number of passengers

P(business class) = 15 / 125

P(business class) = 0.12

So, the probability that any given individual chosen at random is in business class is 0.12, or 12%.
