Parked in the lot beside a local grocery store are 2 red cars, 9 white cars, 3 black cars, 1 blue car, and 6 brown cars, all belonging to shoppers in the store. assuming the shoppers leave randomly, what is the probability that the first two cars to leave are white?

Respuesta :

It would be about 18.37%.

Answer:

probability that the first two cars to leave are white 2[tex]\frac{2}{21}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Parked in the lot beside a local grocery store are 2 red cars, 9 white cars, 3 black cars, 1 blue car, and 6 brown cars, all belonging to shoppers in the store.

To find : what is the probability that the first two cars to leave are white?

Solution : red cars = 2.

               White  cars = 9.

                Black cars = 3.

                 Blue car = 1.

                Brown cars = 6.

Total  cars in store = 21 .

Number of two cars to leave are white.

P(A ) = Number of favourable outcome / Total number of favourable outcomes)

.

Probability that the first two cars to leave are white = [tex]\frac{2}{21}[/tex].

Therefore, probability that the first two cars to leave are white [tex]\frac{2}{21}[/tex].
