Shaniya owns a company that rents cars called Car Go. The following bar graph summarizes the type of

vehicles rented last week.

Answer 1

The probability of a van getting rented next is 25%.

Explanation:

• The graph is attached

Probability Formula:

• number of favorable outcomes / the total number of outcomes

Given Information:

• Number of cars sold : 8
• Number of vans sold : 5
• Number of trucks sold : 4
• Number of motorcycles sold : 3

Calculations:

• number of favorable outcomes = 5 (number of vans sold)
• total number of outcomes = 20 (8 + 5 + 4 + 3)
• number of favorable outcomes / the total number of outcomes
• 5/20 = 1/4

Probability of a van getting rented: 1/4 or 25%
