At a party there are 30 students over age 21 and 20 students under age 21. You choose at random 3 of those over 21 and separately choose at random 2 of those under 21 to interview about attitudes toward alcohol. You have given every student at the party the same chance to be interviewed: what is that chance

Respuesta :

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, given data are as follows:

Students over age 21 = 30

Students under age 21 = 20

Choose student over age 21 = 3

Choose student under age 21 = 2

So, we can calculate chances by using following method,

Chances of student over age 21 = Number of choose student ÷ Total students

= 3 ÷ 30  = 0.10 = 10%

Similarly, Chances of student under age 21 = Number of choose student ÷ Total students

= 2 ÷ 20  = 0.10 = 10%

Hence, in both condition, chances are 10%.
