Chapter 13.3, Problem 5CYU

To determine

To calculate; to find the probability that camper is heading in the N to NE direction

Answer to Problem 5CYU

Solution: $P\left(camperisheadinginNtoNEdirection\right)=\frac{1}{8}or12.5\%$

Explanation of Solution

Number of favorable outcomes, which is N to NE direction $=1$

Total number of directions possible $=8$

  $\begin{array}{l}P\left(camperisheadinginNtoNEdirection\right)=\frac{numberoffavorableoutcomes}{numberofpossibleoutcomes}\\ =\frac{1}{8}=12.5\%\end{array}$
