Probability

Given that a group of 10 fisherman enjoy certain types of fish, 3 of them like salmon, 5 like trout and 2 like bass, and a single fisherman is chosen at random, to determine what is the probability that the fisherman likes salmon or bass, you must perform the following calculation:

  • Total = 10
  • Salmon + bass = 2 + 3 = 5
  • 5/10 = 1/2

Therefore, the probability that the fisherman likes salmon or bass is 1/2.
