Question

The table shows the number of feathers Patsy the Peacock sold at each of the 8 festivals this year.

Answer 1

75%

Explanation:

It's right

Answer 2

We have been given a table that shows the number of feathers Patsy the Peacock sold at each of the 8 festivals this year. We are asked to find the probability that Patsy sells fewer than 5 feathers next festival.

`\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total possible outcomes}}`

Number of favorable outcomes would be number of feathers less than 5.

We can see that there are 6 numbers less than 5 that are 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 2.

The total number of years is 8. Upon substituting these values in probability formula, we will get:

`\text{Probability of selling fewer than 5 feathers}=(6)/(8)`

`\text{Probability of selling fewer than 5 feathers}=(3)/(4)`

`\text{Probability of selling fewer than 5 feathers}=0.75`

Let us convert 0.75 into percent.

`0.75* 100\%=75\%`

Therefore, the probability that Patsy sells fewer than 5 feathers next year would be 75% and option D is the correct choice.
