According to a certain countries 44.5% of 3 year olds are enrolled in daycare. What is the probability that a randomly selected 3 year old is enrolled in daycare.
.445
To calculate the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in daycare, you need the total number of 3-year-olds and the number of 3-year-olds enrolled in daycare in that country.
Let's assume there are 10,000 3-year-olds in the country. If 44.5% of 3-year-olds are enrolled in daycare, we can calculate the number of 3-year-olds enrolled in daycare as follows:
Number of 3-year-olds enrolled in daycare = (44.5/100) * 10,000 = 4,450
So, there are 4,450 3-year-olds enrolled in daycare.
Now, to calculate the probability, divide the number of 3-year-olds enrolled in daycare by the total number of 3-year-olds:
Probability = Number of 3-year-olds enrolled in daycare / Total number of 3-year-olds
Probability = 4,450 / 10,000
Probability = 0.445
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in daycare is 0.445 or 44.5%.
