Question

The number of wins and losses of two basketball teams are shown in the table.

Answer 1

Given:

Find the probability that a randomly selected game from the session was played by the wolves, given that is was a loss.

Sol:

The probability is the ratio of the number of outcomes in an exhaustive set of equally likely outcomes that produce a given event to the total number of possible outcomes.

The formula of probability is:

`P=\frac{\text{ Favorable outcome}}{\text{ Total outcome}}`

So the total outcome is:

`\begin{gathered} =18+12+14+16 \\ \\ =60 \end{gathered}`

So, the probability is:

`\begin{gathered} =(12)/(60) \\ \\ =0.200 \end{gathered}`

The probability is 0.200
