Question

The guide on a tour bus is giving a lecture to the 72 passengers about the historical sites they are passing. The passengers consist of 30men and 35 women, and the rest are children. If the tour guide chooses one passenger at random to go ask a question, what is the probability that that passenger will be a child?

Answer 1

7/72

Explanation:

30+35=65 so 65 adults out of 72 passengers the rest are 7 children out of 72 so your answer is 7/72 passengers are children

Answer 2

7/72

Explanation:

There are 30 + 35, or 65, adults, out of 72 passengers

The rest, or 7, are children, out of 72 passengers.

The probability of choosing a child, in this situation, is 7/72.
