in a parking lot with 200 cars, 50 cars are white, 30 cars are red, and 20 cars are silver. one car will be selected at random from the parking lot. if each car in the parking has only one color, which of the following cannot be the probability that the selected car will be green?

Respuesta :

If each car in the parking has only one color , then the option which cannot be the probability that the selected car will be green is 0.6 , the correct option is (c) .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

total numbers of car in the parking lot = 200 cars

number of white cars = 50

number of red cars = 30

number of silver cars = 20

let the number of green cars be "x" ,

So , the number of green cars possible = 200 - 100 = 100

that means x ≤ 100 .

So , P(green) = x/200

Option(a)

p = 0.2 ,

So , x/200 = 0.2

x = 40

Option(b)

p = 0.1 ,

So , x/200 = 0.1

x = 20

Option(c)

p = 0.6 ,

So , x/200 = 0.6

x = 120

Option(d)

p = 0.5 ,

So , x/200 = 0.5

x = 100 ,

We can see that only option(c) gives the number of green cars as 120 , which is not possible .

Therefore , If each car in the parking has only one color , then the option which cannot be the probability that the selected car will be green is 0.6 , the correct option is (c) .
