Question

] The breakdown of the cars in Apple Valley Honda according to color is 5% white, 27% black, 11% orange, 6% red and 5% for all others.

A car is randomly selected from the lot (to select “randomly” means that every car has the same chance of being selected ). Find the probability (as a percentage) of the following events:

Answer 1

Explanation:

let we assume the Total number of cars are 100

The sample space is (5 +27 + 11+ 6+5) = 54

1. Probability to select a white colour car is =5 ÷ 54 = 0.093 = 9.26 %

`Probability to select a white colour car is =5 ÷ 54 = 0.093 = 9.26 %`

2. Probability to select a Black colour car is =27 ÷ 54 = 0.5 = 50%

`Probability to select a Black colour car is =27 ÷ 54 = 0.5 = 50%`

3. Probability to select a Orange colour car is =11 ÷ 54 = 0.20 = 20%

`Probability to select a Orange colour car is =11 ÷ 54 = 0.20 = 20%`

4. Probability to select a Red colour car is = 6 ÷ 54 = 0.11 = 11%

`Probability to select a Red colour car is = 6 ÷ 54 = 0.11 = 11%`

5. Probability to select Other color cars are =5 ÷ 54 = 0.093 = 9.26 %

`Probability to select Other color cars are =5 ÷ 54 = 0.093 = 9.26 %`
