Question

yesterday a car rental agency rented 4 vehicles, of which 2 were pickup trucks. what is the experimental probability that the first vehicle rented today will be a pickup truck? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(pickup truck) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

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

Step2: Identify values

Number of favorable outcomes (pick - up trucks) = 2, total number of outcomes (vehicles) = 4.

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{pickup truck})=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
