Answer:

  • 0.30 is the probability that a car arriving at this intersection will not fully stop.

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Total number of cars passing = 50 cars
  • Number of cars not fully stop at the stop sign = 15 cars

To Find:

  • What is the probability that a car arriving at this intersection will not fully stop?

We know that:

  • P(E) = F/T

Where,

  • P(E) = Probability of an event
  • F = Favorable outcomes = 15
  • T = Total outcomes = 50

Finding the probability that a car arriving at this intersection will not fully stop:

⟶ P(E) = 15/50

Multiply by 2 with both numerator and denominator.

⟶ P(E) = (15 × 2)/(50 × 2)

⟶ P(E) = 30/100

⟶ P(E) = 0.30

Hence,

  • The probability that a car arriving at this intersection will not fully stop is 0.30.

Answer:

C, 0.30

Explanation:

First, simplify.


(15)/(50) =
(3)/(10)

Next, divide

3 ÷ 10 = 0.30 or 0.3

Have a great day!
