A large company plans to develop a private subdivision. There are 6 house models to choose from (models A, B, C, D, E, and F) and for each model, a client may opt to have a garage or a carport.

1 answer

To calculate the probability of a client choosing model B with a garage, we need to find the total number of options for model B with a garage and then divide it by the total number of options available.

Given:
Total number of house models = 6
Each model can have a garage or a carport
For model B, there are 2 options (garage or carport)

Total number of options for model B with a garage = 1
Total number of options available = 6 * 2 = 12

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Probability = 1 / 12
Probability = 1/12 = 0.0833 or 8.33%

Therefore, the probability of a client choosing model B with a garage is 8.33%.
