Question

a popular beach currently has 80 visitors, and 20 of them are sunbathing. what is the probability that a randomly chosen beachgoer is sunbathing? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(sunbathing) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$.

Step2: Identify values

The total number of beach - goers is $88$, and the number of sunbathing beach - goers is $28$.

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{sunbathing})=\frac{28}{88}=\frac{7}{22}$

Answer:

$\frac{7}{22}$
