A survey is taken by 200 ppl. 90 ppl like red n 110 ppl dislike red. if u randomly choose a person wut is da chance they will like red? Fraction simplest from

1 answer

To find the probability that a randomly chosen person from the survey likes red, we can use the following formula for probability:

\[ P(\text{liking red}) = \frac{\text{number of people who like red}}{\text{total number of people surveyed}} \]

From the information provided:

  • Number of people who like red = 90
  • Total number of people surveyed = 200

Now we can substitute the values into the formula:

\[ P(\text{liking red}) = \frac{90}{200} \]

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 10:

\[ \frac{90 \div 10}{200 \div 10} = \frac{9}{20} \]

Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen person likes red is

\[ \frac{9}{20} \]

in simplest form.
