Answer 1

Answer: 25%

I did it myself on the website and it said it was right ig. There you go

Answer 2

The probability of a van getting rented next is
`(5)/(20)` =
`(1)/(4)`.

Explanation:

Step 1; To find the probability of a unknown event we divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. Here, the favorable outcomes are the number of vans sold in the last week and the total number of outcomes is the total of cars, vans, trucks, and motorcycles sold.

Step 2; Based on the given graph;

Number of cars sold - 8,

Number of vans sold - 5,

Number of trucks sold - 4,

Number of motorcycles sold - 3.

Step 3; Number of favorable outcomes = number of vans sold = 5,

Total number of outcomes = 8 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 20.

Probability of a van getting rented next =
`(5)/(20)` =
`(1)/(4)`.
