The probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in day care is 43.6%.
To find the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in day care, we can convert the percentage to a decimal and express it as a probability between 0 and 1.
The percentage given is 43.6%. To convert it to a decimal, we divide it by 100:
43.6% / 100 = 0.436
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in day care is 0.436 or 43.6%.
To find the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in day care, we need to convert the percentage into a decimal fraction.
To do this, divide the given percentage by 100:
43.6% / 100 = 0.436
So, the probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old is enrolled in day care is 0.436, or 43.6%.
