URGENT. Neil donated 30 notebooks to a local school and Ronald donated 20 notebooks. Of the donated notebooks, 16 of Neil's notebooks were wide-ruled and 12 of Ronald's notebooks were wide-ruled.

Charmaine will randomly choose a notebook from a box containing either Neil's or Ronald's donated notebooks. If she wants to pick a wide-ruled notebook, which box should she choose from?

A.
Neil's box
B.
There is not enough information to determine whose box Charmaine should choose.
C.
Ronald's box
D.
Charmaine is equally likely to choose a wide-ruled notebook from Ronald's box or Neil's box.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Charmaine should choose the box with a higher probability of choosing a wide-ruled notebook.

---------------------------

Neil:

16 out of 30 wide-ruled, so, the probability of choosing a wide-ruled notebook is:

[tex]p_N = \frac{16}{30} = 0.5333[/tex]

---------------------------

Ronald:

12 out of 20 wide-ruled, so, the probability of choosing a wide-ruled notebook is:

[tex]p_R = \frac{12}{20} = 0.6[/tex]

---------------------------

Decision:

Due to the higher probability of choosing a wide-ruled notebook, 0.6 > 0.5333, she should choose from Ronald's box, and the correct option is C.
