The question is incomplete, the complete question is here
Shaniya owns a company that rents cars called Car Go. The following bar graph summarized the type of vehicles rented last week. Based on the data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that a van is the next of the vehicle rented?
The graph is attached down
Answer:
The probability that a van is the next type of vehicle rented is 25% or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of an event = outcomes of the event ÷ total outcomes
From the attached graph
∵ The number of cars rented is 8
∵ The number of vans rented is 5
∵ The number of trucks rented is 4
∵ The number of motorcycles rented is 3
- Add all of them to find the number of vehicles rented
∴ The number of vehicles rented = 8 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 20
To find the probability of that a van is the next type of vehicle rented divide the number of the vans by the number of the vehicles
∵ The number of vans = 5
∵ The number of vehicles = 20
∴ P(van) = [tex]\frac{5}{20}[/tex]
- Divide up and down by 5 to simplify it
∴ P(van) = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
- To change it to percent multiply it by 100%
∴ P(van) = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × 100% = 25%
The probability that a van is the next type of vehicle rented is 25% or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
