Answer:

Probability that if a manta ray is spotted at random, it would be clouseau = Total number of Clouseau spotted each year) ÷(Total number of manta rays seen each year)

Explanation:

The information given is not enough to determine the probability.

We need to know, how many Clouseau are seen each year, then we can find the desired probability.

The Parameters:

Total number of manta rays seen each year = 450

Probability that if a manta ray is spotted at random, it would be clouseau,

P = Total number of Clouseau spotted each year, C) ÷(Total number of manta rays seen each year, T)

P = C/T

P = C/450
