Question

Donation of 5 coat,23 gloves,19 scarves,and 3 hates. Base on this data what is reasonable estimate of the probability that the next donation is not gloves

Answer 1

54%

Explanation:

The total number of itens donated is

5 + 23 + 19 + 3 = 50 itens

The number of gloves donated is 23, so the percentage of itens donated that are gloves is:

23 / 50 = 0.46 = 46%

This percentage is a reasonable estimate of the probability that the next item donated will be gloves, so the probability of the next item not being gloves is:

(1 - 0.46) = 0.54 = 54%
