Maths is scary! Help

[misskatie90]

Hey this is a long shot.
Am doing a level 5 in social care and I need my maths qualification.
I am at a stand still with a question can anyone help.

In a survey of 200 people on transportation methods, 52 stated they drove, 82 stated they took the train, and 19 stated they walked. What is the proballity that a person selected at random would walk? Give your answer to three decimal places.

Any help would be great
Thank you

19/200, so 0.095, it doesn't need rounding.

Probabilities can be given as a fraction or a decimal. It is the thing you want/all the things, so here walkers/everyone.

In this question it doesn't tell you what all 200 people do.

Thank you very much. How did you work this out? So I know in my exam

Amazing got ya Thank you

19 divided by 200 on your calculator.

0.095 as post above says.

Probability is just saying. whats the chances of something happening - so whatever the part that's mentioned (in this case walking) divided by the total number of things (in this case 200 people)
