Answer:

4 / 9

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Michael bus rental agency has a total of n = 18 buses.

- Out all the available buses he has r = 8 buses with AC in them.

- If we were to randomly select a bus from his agency what is the probability that the bus would have an AC:

P ( Bus with AC ) = Favorable Outcomes / Total outcomes

= Number of bus with AC / Total Buses

= r / n

= 8 / 18

= 4 / 9
