You decide to record the hair colors of people leaving a lecture at your school. What is the probability that the next person who leaves the lecture will have blonde hair ?

Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

Blonde Red Brown Black Gray

31          25       18      40     42

Answer: the probability that the next person who leaves the lecture will have blonde hair is 0.1987

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

HAIR COLOR      FREQUENCY

Blonde                         31

Red                              25

Brown                          18

Black                           40

Gray                            42

Total                           156

So

there were 156 people all together

and out of the 156, 31 of them were blonde.

now the probability that the next person who leaves the lecture will have blonde hair will be;

⇒ 31 / 156 = 0.1987

Therefore, the probability that the next person who leaves the lecture will have blonde hair is 0.1987
