Question

question 2 of 5. type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. a charter fishing boat sold a total of 50 tickets for its two trips yesterday. there were 19 adults and 7 children on the morning trip. there were 24 adults on the evening trip. the probability that a randomly - selected ticket holder from yesterday is a child or was on the evening trip is %.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people

The total number of people on the two - trips is the sum of adults and children on morning and evening trips. Total number of people = (19 + 7+24)=50.

Step2: Calculate number of children or evening - trip people

Number of children = 7. Number of people on evening trip = 24. But we need to avoid double - counting. The number of children on evening trip is 0 (not given otherwise). So number of children or people on evening trip = 7 + 24=31.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Probability = $\frac{31}{50}=0.62$. To convert to percentage, we multiply by 100. So the probability as a percentage is $0.62\times100 = 62$.

Answer:

62
