Question

According to a certain​ country's department of​ education, 43.9​% of​ 3-year-olds are enrolled in day care. What is the probability that a randomly selected​ 3-year-old is enrolled in day​ care?

Answer 1

Answer: The required probability is 0.439.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of 3- year old are enrolled in day care = 43.9%

So, the probability that a randomly selected 3 year old is enrolled in day care is given by

$\dfrac{43.9}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{439}{100\times 10}\\\\=\dfrac{439}{1000}\\\\=0.439$

Hence, the required probability is 0.439.
