Question

A used car dealer sells SUVs and cars. Of all the vehicles, 60% are cars. Of all the vehicles, 15% are red cars. What is the probability that a car chosen at random is not red?

Answer 1

The probability that a car chosen at random is not red is 75%.

Explanation:

Given that a used car dealer sells SUVs and cars, and of all the vehicles, 60% are cars, and of all the vehicles, 15% are red cars, to determine what is the probability that a car chosen at random is not red you must perform the following calculation:

60 = 100

15 = X

15 x 100/60 = X

25 = X

100 - 25 = 75

Therefore, the probability that a car chosen at random is not red is 75%.
