According to a certain countries 43.8% of 3 year olds are enrolled in daycare. What is the probability that a randomly selected 3 year old is enrolled in daycare.

To calculate the probability of a randomly selected 3-year-old being enrolled in daycare, we can simply use the given information that 43.8% of 3-year-olds are enrolled in daycare.

Probability is typically expressed as a decimal or a fraction between 0 and 1. In this case, we can convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100.

Let's calculate:

43.8% / 100 = 0.438

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in daycare is 0.438 or 43.8% as a decimal.

To calculate the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in daycare, we need to know the total number of 3-year-olds in that certain country. Let's assume there are 10,000 3-year-olds.

Given that 43.8% of 3-year-olds are enrolled in daycare, we can calculate the number of 3-year-olds who are enrolled in daycare as follows:

Number of 3-year-olds in daycare = (43.8/100) * Total number of 3-year-olds
= (0.438) * 10,000
= 4,380

Therefore, there are 4,380 3-year-olds enrolled in daycare.

To calculate the probability, we divide the number of 3-year-olds in daycare by the total number of 3-year-olds:

Probability of being enrolled in daycare = Number of 3-year-olds in daycare / Total number of 3-year-olds
= 4,380 / 10,000
= 0.438
= 43.8%

So, the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in daycare is 43.8%.

Hmm. Looks like 0.438

0.438
