Answer:

A, B and E could not be probabilities

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, <u>a probability could be any number between 0 and 1. </u>So a probability P would be 0≤P≤1. In percentages, 0% ≤ P ≤ 100%

Considering this we would have that:

A) 110% could not be a probability because it's larger than 100%

B) 5.42 could not be a probability because it's larger than 1.

C) 0.001 could be a probability because it's larger than 0 and smaller than 1 (It doesn't matter how small it is)

D) 0.58 could be a probability because it's between 0 and 1.

E) -120% could not be a probability because it's smaller than zero. (it's a negative number)

Thus, A), B) and E) could not be probabilities.

Rob notices that 55 percent of the people leaving the supermarket chhose plastic bags instead of paper bags. out of 600 people,
Bumek [7]
To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.

55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.

So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.
