Question

The winter clothing drive has received donations of 15 coats, 27 pairs of gloves, 38 scarves, and 20 hats so far. Based on this data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves? A: .54 B: .73C: .27 D: .37

Answer 1

we must add all the garments that are not gloves and divide them by the total

we add 15 coats, 38 scarves and 20 hats

`15+38+20=73`

and divide by the total

`15+38+20+27=100`
`(73)/(100)=0.73`

so, the right option is B
