Question

A store sells a coat in three sizes: small, medium and large. The coat comes in red, navy, and tan. Sales numbers are shown in the table.
Find the probability that the next coat sold is a medium.
Write your answer in reduced fraction form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Next coat sold as medium: 68/190 (35.79%) Rounded to the nearest hundredth) or reduced fraction form of 34/95.

Step-by-step explanation:

Red Medium: 21/58 ( 36.21%)

Navy Medium: 22/66 (33.33%

Tan Medium: 25/66 (37.88%)

Since it's asking for the probability that the next coat is a medium, no matter the color, we add in all numbers and divide it by the added medium from all three colors.

Next coat sold as medium: 68/190 (35.79%) Rounded to the nearest hundredth) or reduced fraction form of 34/95.
