To calculate the probability of an event we would use the probability formula as follows;


P\lbrack E\rbrack=\frac{\text{Number of required outcomes}}{Number\text{ of possible outcomes}}

From the experiment conducted, 10,000 people took the driving test and 6500 passed the test on the first attempt. Therefore, to find the probability that a person randomly selected would pass the driving test on first attempt;


\begin{gathered} P\lbrack\text{first attempt\rbrack=}\frac{Number\text{ of required outcomes}}{Number\text{ of all possible outcomes}} \\ P\lbrack\text{first attempt\rbrack=}(6500)/(10000) \\ P\lbrack\text{first attempt\rbrack=}(65)/(100) \\ P\lbrack\text{first attempt\rbrack=0.65 or 65\%} \end{gathered}
