Question

Levi is planning a road trip. He throws a dart on a map of the United States to decide where to go. There are 4 states that start with the letter A, 3 states that start with the letter C, and 8 states that start with the letter M. What is the probability that Levi throws a dart on a state that starts with an A or a C? (Hint: There are 50 total states.)

P(A U C)=

options:

0.005

0.3

0.64

0.14

Answer 1

Someone answered it lol

Answer 2

There are 4 states that start with A and 3 states that start with C. Therefore, the total number of states that start with A or C is 4 + 3 = 7.

The total number of states is 50.

So, the probability of Levi throwing a dart on a state that starts with A or C is:

P(A U C) = (Number of states that start with A or C) / (Total number of states)

P(A U C) = 7/50

P(A U C) = 0.14

Therefore, the probability that Levi throws a dart on a state that starts with an A or a C is 0.14.

So, the correct option is:

0.14
