Make a table to show the sample space and find the number of outcomes. Then find the probability.

A theater uses a letter to show which row a seat is in, and a number to show the column. If there are eight rows and ten columns, what is the probability that you select a seat at random that is in column 1?

1 answer

The favorable outcomes would be A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, and H1. The number is: 8
It should be very easy to make a table.

Probability): 8 x 10 = 80 and there is 8 favorable outcomes so: 8/80 = 1/10
1 ÷ 10 = 0.1
0.1 x 100 = 10 % is the probability.
