a. A package of shrimp is selected at random from those inventoried. What is the probability
that a package of wild-caught shrimp came from Honduras?

Respuesta :

The probability that a package of wild-caught shrimp came from Honduras is 0.0036.

How to calculate the probability?

The probability that a package of wild-caught shrimp came from Honduras will be:

= Number of wild caught in Honduras/ Total number

= 6/(27 + 40 + 52 + 13 + 6 + 28)

= 6/166

= 0.036
