Question

a city held a bike parade. 10 bikers rode recumbent bicycles, and 82 bikers rode other types of bicycle.
what is the probability that a randomly chosen bike in the parade was a recumbent bicycle?
write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
p(recumbent bicycle) =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of bikers

To find the total number of bikers, we add the number of bikers with recumbent bicycles and the number of bikers with other types of bicycles. So, total bikers = 10 + 82 = 92.

Step2: Calculate the probability

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (recumbent bicycles) is 10, and the total number of outcomes (total bikers) is 92. So, \( P(\text{recumbent bicycle})=\frac{10}{92} \), which simplifies to \( \frac{5}{46} \).

Answer:

\( \frac{5}{46} \)
