Q. Dalton is shopping for a new bicycle. He is most interested in color and type of tires.\newline\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}\newline\hline Road bike tires & Mountain bike tires \\\newline\hline Red & 55 & 66 \\\newline\hline Green & 44 & 55 \\\newline\hline\newline\end{tabular}\newlineWhat is the probability that a randomly selected bike is green or has road bike tires?\newlineSimplify any fractions.\newline \square
  1. Count Total Bikes: Count the total number of bikes. Add up all the bikes in the table.\newline55 (Red Road) + 66 (Red Mountain) + 44 (Green Road) + 55 (Green Mountain) = 2020 bikes total.
  2. Count Green Bikes: Count the number of green bikes. Add the green road bikes to the green mountain bikes.\newline44 (Green Road) + 55 (Green Mountain) = 99 green bikes.
  3. Count Road Bikes: Count the number of bikes with road bike tires. Add the red road bikes to the green road bikes.\newline55 (Red Road) + 44 (Green Road) = 99 road bikes.
  4. Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of selecting a green bike or a bike with road tires. Since some bikes are both green and have road tires, we need to subtract the overlap to avoid double-counting.\newlineP(Green or Road Tires)=P(Green)+P(Road Tires)P(Green and Road Tires)P(\text{Green or Road Tires}) = P(\text{Green}) + P(\text{Road Tires}) - P(\text{Green and Road Tires})\newlineP(Green or Road Tires)=920+920420P(\text{Green or Road Tires}) = \frac{9}{20} + \frac{9}{20} - \frac{4}{20}
  5. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction. P(Green or Road Tires)=9+9420=1420P(\text{Green or Road Tires}) = \frac{9 + 9 - 4}{20} = \frac{14}{20}
  6. Reduce Fraction: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form. 1420\frac{14}{20} can be simplified to 710\frac{7}{10} by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 22.
