Answer 1

Answer:

A) 0.4255

B) 0.5813

C) 0.5588

D) 0.7241

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the probability for each case is the same, we can calculate the  probability by dividing the number of favourable cases with the total amount of cases. You can find the total amount of cases by adding the favourable ones with the non favourable ones, so, the probability of each case would be:

A) 20/(27+20) = 20/47 = 0.4255

B) 25/(18+25) =  25/43 = 0.5813

C) 19/(15+19) = 19/34 = 0.5588

D) 21((8+21) = 21/29 = 0.7241
