Question

This problem involves empirical probability. The table shows the breakdown of 85 thousand single parents on active duty in the U.S. military in a certain year. All numbers are in thousands and rounded to the nearest thousand. Use the data in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the Army. The probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the Army is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

So we have total number of Army persons are 34 and total military persons are 85.

now we have to select a person randomly from Army and that would be any one of the total number of 34 members.

so the probability would be 34/85 = 0.4
