Question

The advertisements claim that train is on time 90% of time and the bus have a record 56 out of 64 days . Which form of transportation provides best service. Explain

Answer 1

Train

Explanation:

To get the success rate (on time) of bus, we need to divide 56 by 64. So:

`(56)/(64)=(7)/(8)\\=0.875`

This multiplied by 100 gives us the %. Thus, 0.875 * 100 = 87.5%

Clearly, 90% is greater than 87.5%. Hence, based solely on times, the train provides best service.
