Question

At Ken's boutique, 33 customers wore a size small, and 51 customers wore a different size.

What is the probability that a randomly selected customer wore a size small?

Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

11/28

Explanation:

First, you add 33 and 51 to get a total of 84 customers. Then you put the number of selections you want (33) as the numerator to 84, to get 33/84. Finally you simplify and get the probability of selecting a customer at random. Answer= 11/28 is your probability

Answer 2

11/28

Explanation:

1. Add up all of the customers to get the sample size.

33 + 51 = 84

2. Since we are finding the chance of it being a size small, 33 will be out numerator.

3. Create the final fraction, (33/84)

4. Simplify (11/28)
