According to data obtained from the National Weather Service 187 of the 368 people killed by lightning were men. Assume that this trend holds for the future. What is the probability that a person killed by lightning is a woman

Answer :

Answer:

0.4919

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data:

187 of the 368 people killed by lightning were men.

i.e

Number of men = 187

Total number of people killed = 368

The objective is to determine the probability that the person killed by lightning is a woman.

The number of women = 368 - 187

The number of women  = 181

The probability that the person killed by lightning is a woman = 181/368

= 0.4919
