Respuesta :

The answer should most likely be on the transporter.Because there are 5 cars in all 3 are red think about the question.

Answer:

On the transporter's lorry.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are 4 red cars and 6 blue cars parked in the car park at Ben’s workplace.  On a transporter lorry travelling alongside Ben on the motorway there are 5 cars, 3 of which are red.

Let us compare both proportions to find which situation is most likely red.

[tex]\text{Red cars in the car park}=\frac{4}{6+4}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Red cars in the car park}=\frac{4}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Red cars in the car park}=\frac{2}{5}=0.40[/tex]

Now let us find proportion of red cars on the transporter's lorry.

[tex]\text{Red cars on the transporter's lorry}=\frac{3}{5}=0.60[/tex]

Upon comparing both proportion we can see,

[tex]\frac{2}{5}< \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]0.40 <0.60[/tex]

Therefore, on the transporter's lorry red color is most likely.
