the winter clothing drive has received donations of 5 coats, 23 pairs of gloves, 19 scarves, and 3 hats so far. based on this data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves? choose 1 answer: a 0.23 b 0.27 c 0.46 d 0.54
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total donations
$5 + 23+19 + 3=50$
Step2: Calculate number of non - glove donations
$5+19 + 3=27$
Step3: Calculate probability
The probability $P$ that the next donation is not a pair of gloves is $\frac{27}{50}=0.54$
Answer:
D. 0.54
