A car rental firm has 440 cars. Sixty-three of these cars have defective turn signals and 39 have defective tires. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) What is the probability that one of these cars selected at random does not have defective turn signals

The probability is 0.857

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

There is a total of 440 cars

There are 63 cars with defective turn signals

There are 39 with defective tires.

Now we want to find the probability that a randomly selected car does not have defective turn signals.

If all the cars have the same probability of being selected, this probability will be equal to the quotient between the number of cars that do not have defective turn signals and the total number of cars.

We know that the total number of cars is 440

And 63 of these have defective turn signals, then the rest don't.

440 - 63 = 377 cars do not have defective turn signals.

Then the probability is:

P = 377/440 = 0.857

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
