Question

Jose estimates that if he leaves his car parked outside his office all day on a weekday, the chance that he will get a parking ticket is 26%. If Jose leaves his car parked outside his office all day next Tuesday, what is the chance that he will not get a parking ticket?

Answer 1

Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.

Explanation:

We know that Jose estimates that if he leaves his car parked outside his office all day on a weekday, the chance that he will get a parking ticket is 26%.

Therefore the probability that he will get a parking ticket is P1=0.26.

We calculate the probability that he will not get a parking ticket.

We get:

P=1-P1

P=1-0.26

P=0.74

Therefore, the probability is P=0.74.
