Question

Write your answers as fractions in the format 1/2.
If a learner is picked at random, what is the probability that they are
female and use public transport?
The learner rejoins their class mates and another learner is picked at
random. What is the probability that they are female and walk/cycle to
college?

Answer 1

The probability that they are female and use public transport is $\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{3}}$

The probability that they are female and walk/cycle to college is $\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{9}}$

What is probability?

Probability is an area of mathematics that deals with numerical representations of how probable an event is too probable to occur or how probable a statement is to be true.

Probability is synonymous with possibility. It is a mathematical field that is concerned with the occurrence of a random event. The value ranges from zero to one. The definition of probability is to predict the degree to which something is likely to occur.   To determine the likelihood of a particular event occurring, we must first determine the total number of possible outcomes.

Mathematically:

$\mathbf{Probability = \dfrac{number \ of \ required \ outcomes}{total \ number \ of \ possible \ outcomes}}$

From the table in the image attached below.

The probability that they are female and use public transport is:

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{9}{27}}$

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Also, the probability that they are female and walk/cycle to college is:

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{3}{27}}$

$\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{9}}$
