Question

There are 45 people in a restaurant. 20 of them are female and 25 of them are male. Calculate the experimental probability that the next person to walk into the restaurant is male.A) 1/25B) 4/9C) 1/9D) 5/9

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of people = 45

Number of females = 20

Number of males = 25

Let's find the experimental probability that the next person to walk into the restaurant is male.

To find the experimental probability, apply the formula:

$P(next\text{ male)=}\frac{\text{ number of males}}{Total\text{ number of people}}$

Thus, we have:

$P(\text{next Male) = }\frac{25}{45}$

Simplify the fraction:

$P(\text{next male)=}\frac{5}{9}$

ANSWER: D.

$\frac{5}{9}$
