Respuesta :
Let’s say there are 1000 football teams.
Having winning records in 1998-> 374
Broke the winning records-> 248
Losing record-> 1000-374-248=378
Total=1000
-> 37.8% (378/1000 *100)
Having winning records in 1998-> 374
Broke the winning records-> 248
Losing record-> 1000-374-248=378
Total=1000
-> 37.8% (378/1000 *100)
Answer:
0.378
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 37.4% of all college football teams had winning records in 1998, and another 24.8% broke even
i.e.if total college students are 100, 37.4 will win and 24.8 will break even
(Here we should not take literally decimals because these are examples.)
Losers [tex]= 100-37.4-24.8 = 100-62.2 = 37.8[/tex]
Hence probability that a randomly chosen college football team had a losing record in 1998
[tex]=37.8%\\=0.378[/tex]
