Question

Of a group of 500 people, 60 are fit enough to climb Mount Shasta in California. The group has 300 women and 200 men. 12% of the men are fit to climb the mountain. What is the probability that a person picked at random from the group is a male or is fit to climb Mount Shasta?

Answer 1

Answer:

13/25 = 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total men fit to climb = 12% of 200 = 24

Total women fit to climb = 60-24 = 36

P(A)

= 200/500 + 36/300

= 2/5 + 3/25

= 10/25 + 3/25

= 13/25

= 52%
