Question

Of the people who fished at Clearwater Park today, 35 had a fishing license, and 35 did not. Of the people who fished at Mountain View Park today, 30 had a

license, and 30 did not. (No one fished at both parks.)
Suppose that one fisher from each park is chosen at random. What is the probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater, did not have a license and the fisher
chosen from Mountain View had a license?
Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: Clearwater: 50% Mountain View: 50%

Explanation:

To find probability, you must have the subject divided by the total.

For Clearwater, 35+35=70 people (total) and 35 of them did not have a license (subject). 35÷70=0.5, or 50%

For Mountain View, it is the same process. 30+30=60, (total), and 30 of them had a license, meaning that 30÷60 is your answer. 30÷60=0.5, or 50%
