According to a certain country’s department of education, 40.0% of 3-year-olds are enrolled in day care. What is the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in day care?

Given parameters:

Percentage of enrollment of 3-year-olds = 40%

Unknown:

Probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in a day care = ?

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.

   Probability  =

In this problem, 40% of the total number of 3-year-olds are enrolled in a day care.

  We can say, out of every 100 3-year-olds, 40 of them will enroll in day care.

The possible enrollment is 40 and the total is 100;

Input the parameters and solve;

      Probability  =   =

The probability that any randomly selected 3 year old is enrolled in day care is

24

step-by-step explanation:

the graph shows 30% of students walk. 80 students were questioned, so the number that said they walk is

30% × 80 = 0.30 × 80 = 24
