At a swimming pool there are 2 managers 8 lifeguards 3 concession stand clerks and 2 maintenance people. If a person is selected at random what is probability that person is either a lifeguard or manager

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people mentioned in this problem is 15. 15 will be the denominator for the probability in fraction form. The sum of the # of people that include lifeguards and managers will be the numerator.

Therefore, the probability that the person picked is either a manager or a lifeguard is 10/15 [because there are 2 managers and 8 lifeguards; 2 + 8 =10].

Fraction form of probability: 10/15

Decimal form: 0.6 repeated

Percent form: about 66.67%
