Question

Of a group of 500 people, 60 are fit enough to climb Mount Shasta in California. The group has 300 women and 200 men. 12% of the men are fit to climb the mountain. What is the probability that a person picked at random from the group is a male or is fit to climb Mount Shasta? A) 59/125 B) 49/100 C) 13/25 D) 56/125

Answer 1

P(men) or P(fit) = P(men) + P(fit) = 200/500 + 60/500 = 260/500 = 13/25

Answer 2

NO, that answer is wrong it is not 13/25

Answer: 0.472 (or in percent near 47.2%).

if you simplify 0.472 and turn it into a fraction you will get  59/125

that is the answer on plato
