The probability that a randomly selected contestant felt relaxed can be found by dividing the number of contestants who felt relaxed (11) by the total number of contestants.
The total number of contestants is the sum of the number of contestants who felt nervous (29) and the number of contestants who felt relaxed (11).
So, the probability that a randomly selected contestant felt relaxed is:
P(relaxed) = number of relaxed contestants / total number of contestants = 11 / (29 + 11) = 11 / 40
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected contestant felt relaxed is 11/40.
Among
the game show contestants, 29 were nervous before going on TV and 11 felt relax. Find the probability that a randomly selected contestant felt relaxed.
