Prof did a survey about the colour of cars passing underneath a motor way bridge. He recorded the information in the table below. (a) Estimate the probability that the next car to pass underneath the bridge will be silver. (b) How many black cars would you expect if 300 cars passed underneath the bridge? (a) Since the table shows a total of 80 cars and 28 are silver, we can use this relative frequency, 28/80 as an estimate for the probability of the next car being silver. (b) 8/80 = 1/10 and 1/10 of 300 = 30. (a) 28/80 =7/20 (b) 30 Red Blue White Silver Black 20 14 10 28 8
