Answer 1

Answer:

30 other vehicles + 4 convertibles = 34 cars

34 * 2 = 68

30 * 2 other vehicles + 4 * 2 convertibles = 68 cars

60 other vehicles and 8 convertibles

hope it helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}$

Given:

• number of convertibles = 4
• total number of vehicles = 30 + 4 = 34

$\implies \sf P(convertible)=\dfrac{4}{34}=\dfrac{2}{17}$

To find the expected number of convertibles from the first 68 vehicles:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf P(convertible) \times 68 & =\sf\dfrac{2}{17} \times 68\\\\ & = \sf8\end{aligned}$
