Question

a used - car lot sold 84 vehicles last month, and 8 of them were minivans. what is the experimental probability that the next vehicle sold will be a minivan? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(minivan) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Step2: Identify values

Number of favorable outcomes (minivans) = 8, total number of outcomes (vehicles sold) = 84.

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{minivan})=\frac{8}{84}=\frac{2}{21}$

Answer:

$\frac{2}{21}$
