Question

ABC High School is debating whether or not to write a policywhere all students musthave uniforms and wear them during school hours. In a survey,45% of the studentswanted uniforms, and 55% did not.Calculate the probability that a person selected at random fromABC High School will want the school to have uniforms or willnot want the school to have uniforms.

Answer 1

If 45% don't want uniforms, it means that 45 out of 100 students don't want them, so the probability is 45/100 = 9/20

And 55% want unifrms, so the probability = 55/100 = 11/20
