Question

Luna observed that in the last 12 issues of "Rise Over Run Weekly" 384 of the 960 pages contained an advertisement.

What is the probability that the next page she turns will contain an advertisement?

A) 40%
B) 3.1%
C) 12%
D) 8.3%

Answer 1

It's a because that about 1/3 and 1/3 of 960 is 320 and a bit extra should come out to be about 40%

Answer 2

The probability that the next page she turns will contain an advertisement is:

40%

Explanation:

As it is given that there are 384 of the 960 pages that contain an advertisement.

Now we are asked to find the probability that the next page she turns will contain an advertisement:

We know that probability of an event is defined as:

Proabability=(Number of favourable outcome)/(Total number of outcome)

As total number of outcome=960

and number of favourable outcome=384

Hence, the probability that the next page she turns will contain an advertisement is given by:

`(384)/(960)=0.4`

Hence, the percent probability is given by: 40%.
