Fill in the tally marks and frequencies in the table.
$\begin{array}{|l|l|c|} \hline \textbf{CAR} & \textbf{TALLY} & \textbf{FREQUENCY} \\ \hline \text{BMW} & \text{II} & 2 \\ \text{FORD} & \text{IIII IIII} & 9 \\ \text{GWM} & \text{IIII} & 4 \\ \text{HONDA} & \text{III} & 3 \\ \text{KIA} & \text{IIII I} & 6 \\ \text{KWIDI} & \text{II} & 2 \\ \text{MAZDA} & \text{IIII} & 4 \\ \text{NISSAN} & \text{IIII} & 5 \\ \text{SUZUKI} & \text{IIII} & 4 \\ \text{TOYOTA} & \text{IIII} & 4 \\ \text{VOLVO} & \text{II} & 2 \\ \text{VW} & \text{IIII} & 5 \\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|r|}{\textbf{TOTAL}} & \textbf{50} \\ \hline \end{array}$
1.2.2 Calculate the probability (as a simplified fraction) of choosing VW.
Identify the number of VW cars and the total number of cars.
Number of VW cars = 5
Total number of cars = 50
Write the probability as a fraction.
$P(\text{VW}) = \frac{\text{Number of VW cars}}{\text{Total number of cars}} = \frac{5}{50}$
Simplify the fraction.
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.
$P(\text{VW}) = \frac{5 \div 5}{50 \div 5} = \frac{1}{10}$
The probability of choosing VW is: $\frac{1}{10}$
