Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of bikes

$10 + 82=92$

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (recumbent bicycles) is 10 and total number of outcomes (total bikes) is 92. So $P(\text{recumbent bicycle})=\frac{10}{92}=\frac{5}{46}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{46}$
