Question

A car dealership has silver, blue, and white sedans for sale. The probability that a blue sedan is chosen at random for a test drive is 0.2. Which computation would give the probability that a blue sedan is not chosen?

A. (1 - 0.8)

B. (1 + 0.8)

C. (1 + 0.2)

D. (1 - 0.2)

Answer 1

The computation that would give the probability that a blue sedan is not chosen is (1 - 0.2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation that would give the probability that a blue sedan is not chosen is (1 - 0.2).

To find the probability that an event will not occur, you subtract the probability of the event happening from 1. In this case, the probability of choosing a blue sedan is 0.2, so the probability of not choosing a blue sedan is 1 - 0.2, which simplifies to 0.8.
