Question 1118339: Seniors at a high school were asked what color car they drive. The results were
put in a circle graph. The measure of each central angle is shown. If a senior
is chosen at random from this school, find the probability that the car color is
white or blue.
White = 122.4 degrees
Red = 115.2 degrees
Blue = 54 degrees
Silver = 68.4 degrees Answer by Edwin McCravy(20064) (Show Source):
Divide each by 360 degrees and that will be the probability
of the car color, P(W), P(R), P(B) and P(S)
For this problem, you only need to find P(W) and P(B)
Then to find P(W or B), add P(W)+P(B)
