Answer:

The probability of seeing a person wearing black shoes before seeing a person wearing white ones = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

People watched walking down the street = 100%

People wearing black shoes = 1/2 = 50%

People wearing white shoes = 1/3 = 33.33%

People wearing red shoes = 1/6 = 16.67%

Probability of black shoes to white shoes = percentage of persons wearing black shoes/sum of the percentages of people wearing black and white shoes)

= 50% : 33.33%

= 60% (50%/83.33%)

When expressed in ratio terms, it means that you will see 1.5 (50%/33.33% or 1.5 : 1) persons wearing black shoes before you see a person wearing white shoes.

SashulF [63]

The correct anwer is False

Explanation

According to the graph, it can be seen that a student has four hours of sleep as the minimum number of hours of sleep; two students have six hours of sleep, four students have six and a half hours of sleep, four have seven hours of sleep, three have seven and a half hours of sleep, five have eight hours of sleep, and one has eight and a half hours of sleep as maximum hours of sleep. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the statement that the difference between the maximum amount and the minimum number of hours is two and a half hours is false because between four hours and eight and a half hours there are four and a half hours of difference. So, the correct answer is False.
