Answer 1

Given the following question:

Estimate the probability that the next car will be red.

11, 24, 16, 9

`\begin{gathered} 11\text{ + 24}=35 \\ 35\text{ + 16 = 51} \\ 51\text{ + 9 = }60 \\ 60=100\text{per} \end{gathered}`
`p=(11)/(60)`
`(11)/(60)*100=18.333333`
`\begin{gathered} 18.333333 \\ 3\text{ < 5} \\ 18.3 \end{gathered}`

18.3% or the first option.
