To calculate:

The probability of given event.

Answer to Problem 10PPS

The probability that a travel agency client chooses the destinationisfor is for is foris and for is

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Event:

According to a survey done by a travel agency of their clients went on vacation to Europe, went to Asia, went to south America went to Africa and went to Australia.

Calculation:

The following table represents the percentage of travel agency destination:

Best Hits	Percentage of Tickets
Europe
Asia
South America
Africa
Australia

To simulate travel agency choices for each destination, use a random number generator to generate integers from

Generate integers, and let the integers from represent the let integers represent

Now let integers represent hit and letrepresent and let represent

Record the frequency of observed outcomes. The frequency of observed outcomes. The frequency of outcomes will vary between sets of integers.

One such set of spins can be recorded in a frequency table as follows:

Outcome	Frequency
Total

Now, divide each frequency in the frequency table to get the probabilities for each outcome.

Outcome	Frequency	Probability
Total

Make a probability histogram by charting probability on the vertical axis and outcomes on the horizontal axis.

  

Therefore, based on the simulation, the probability that a travel agency client chooses the destinationisfor is for is foris and for is
