There are 6 adult chaperones, 21 female students, and 23 male students on a bus for a field trip.
What is the probability that a randomly chosen person on the bus is an adult chaperone or a male student?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{29}{50}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{29}{50}[/tex] put into decimal form is 0.58 (aka 58%)

The person above me was correct but didn't have the answer in fraction form.

The probability that a randomly chosen person on the bus is an adult chaperone or a male student is 0.58.

We have the following data -

On a field trip there are 6 adult chaperones, 21 female students, and 23 male students on a bus.

We have to find the probability that a randomly chosen person on the bus is an adult chaperone or a male student.

What is the formula to calculate the probability of an event ?

The formula to calculate the probability of an event is -

P(A) = n (A) / n(S)

Where -

n(A) - Number of favorable outcomes.

n(S) - Number of elements in the sample space.

In the question given to us, we have -

n (A) = favorable outcomes = 23 + 6 = 29

n (S) =  Elements in the sample space 23 + 21 + 6 = 50

Hence, the probability that a randomly chosen person on the bus is an adult chaperone or a male student is -

P(A) = [tex]\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{29}{50}[/tex] = 0.58

Hence, the probability of choosing will be 0.58.
