The last 40 boat rentals at a boat rental company were 22 sunfish, 10 kayaks, and 8 rowboats. Determine the empirical probability that the next rental boat is a sunfish.

0.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the last 40 boat rentals.

22 were sunfish

10 were kayaks

8 were rowboats.

We can compute the relative frequency of each one, as the quotient between the number of each type of boats and the total number, this is:

P. sunfishes = 22/40 = 0.55

To find this as a percentage we can just multiply this by 100%.

0.55*100% = 55%.

P. kayaks = 10/40 = 0.25

The percentage will be 0.25*100% = 25%.

P. rowboats = 8/40 = 0.2

The percentage will be 0.2*100% = 20%.

Then the probability that the next rental boat is a sunfish can be estimated as the relative frequency that we found earlier, this will be 0.55.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

move it to the other side
