Question

A parking lot has seventy-six parking spaces numbered from 1 to 76. There are no cars in the parking lot when Jillian pulls in and randomly parks. What is the probability that the number on the parking space where she parks is greater than or equal to 31?

Answer 1

Answer:

40/76 or 10/19 or 52.63% (they are all equivalent)

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 76 parking spaces in total

30 parking spaces have numbers that are less than 31 (1 - 30)

that means that there are 76 - 30 = 46 spaces that are numbered 31 or higher

so the probability that Jillian parks on a parking space with a number ≥ 31 is 40/76 or 10/19 or 52.63%
