Question

Tim did a survey at a large shopping centre. He asked 400 visitors to the centre to choose the main reason for their visit. The reasons were shops, free parking, food court and location.

From the people taking part in the survey, one person is chosen at random to get a prize. Find the probability a female who chose location gets the prize.

shops free park. food location total
male 88 24 40 21 173
female 110 38 56 23 227
total 198 62 96 44 400​

Answer 1

23 / 400 = 0.0575

Explanation:

Given the distribution :

_____shops__ free park. food _: location total

male 88 24 40 21 173

female 110 38 56 23 227

total 198 62 96 44 400​

From the table of the distribution Given, we obtain :

n(Female n location) = 23

n(Total) = 400

Hence, the probability that a female who chose location gets the prize will be ;

n(Female n location) / n(Total) = 23 / 400 = 0.0575
