question for Probability
In a recent survey, a random sample of 475 people was interviewed. They were asked on their preference for fried food. Of the 300 males interviewed, 135 responded that they like fried food. In total, 270 responders do not like fried food and of which 105 are females. If a person is randomly selected, what is the probability that the person a) is female, b) is female and likes fried food, c) is female or does not like fried food,
- There are 475 people total
- 300 are male so 175 are female (assuming they all identify as male or female)
- 135 males like fried food
- 270 people total do not like fried food
- 105 females do not like fried food
- 175 - 105 = 70 females do like fried food
- 270 - 105 = 165 males do not like fried food
a.) Probability that the person is female is 175/475 = ~37%
b.) Probability that the person is female and likes fried food is 70/475 = ~15%
c.) Probability that the person is female or does not like fried food is (175 + 165) / 475 = 85%

What is the probability that has the same probability?
What is the probability that this question makes absolutely no sense? 1/1. or 100%
How do you find probability?
To find probability in a question you first have to determine the whole number which from the question which will be the denominator next determine the numerator from the question then put that number in the fraction.To find probability u have to look at the possibilities which will be the denominator the find the successes which will be the numerator
What is the probability that your water will be polluted?
The probability is close to 100%. The more important question is the extent of pollution and how harmful those pollutants are. The answer to that depends on where in the world the question is about.The probability is close to 100%. The more important question is the extent of pollution and how harmful those pollutants are.

What is the probability of getting a question right simple by guessing?
That depends a lot on the specific circumstances, of how you guess. For instance, if a test has true/false questions, the probability is 1/2; if it is a multiple-choice question with 4 options, the probability is 1/4; if there are 6 options, the probability is 1/6, etc.; if you have to calculate a number (and it is NOT a multiple choice question), the probability is rather low, indeed.
How do you solve probability with a mean?
You cannot solve probability since it is not a question! It is like asking how you can solve history!
