Back to board RedBlueWhiteSilverBlack Prof did a survey about the colour of cars passing underneath a motor way bridge. He recorded the information in the table below. (a) Estimate the probability that the next car to pass underneath the bridge will be silver. (b) How many red cars would you expect if 300 cars passed underneath the bridge? (a) 38/100 = 0.38 (b) 60 (a) Since the table shows a total of 100 cars and 38 are silver, we can use this relative frequency, 38/100 as an estimate for the probability of the next car being silver. (b) 20/100 = 1/5 and 1/5 of 300 = 60.
