Passengers traveling by airplane have two options for their bags: carry-on (for smaller bags) or check (for large bags). An airline examines the baggage choices of its customers on a selection of short flights (less than 500 miles) and long flights (more than 500 miles)

Sagot :

Answer:  342/601

==============================================================

Explanation:

We're told that "given the customer has a carry-on bag". This means we know 100% that the customer has a carry-on bag and we don't need to worry about the other rows. We'll only focus on row 1.

Of the 601 people who had a carry-on, there are 342 people who had a short flight.

This leads to the fraction 342/601

It cannot be reduced because 342 and 601 don't have any factors in common (other than 1).
