Question

In a survey of 896 people, 409 said their second toes are longer than their big toes. What is the probability to the nearest percent that a randomly chosen person from the survey has a longer second toe.

Answer 1

409 yesses out of 896 peoples

Answer 2

409/896

Answer 3

P(2nd toe longer) = 409/896 x 100

Answer 4

total no. of answers or outcomes (sample space) = no. of people =896
no. of favourable outcomes = no. of people with longer second toes = 109
so,
Probability "P" = {no. of favourable outcome}/{total no. of outcomes}

or, P = 409/896
