Last year, 800 cars were sold in Wonderland. 250 were blue, 550 were red. There are 1000 consumers in the town of Wonderland. 300 consumers walk to work, 500 drive, and 200 take the train.
a) What is the proportion of walkers to drivers?
-- 300:500 or 3:5 or 60%
b) What is the proportion of train travelers to walkers?
-- 200:300 or 2:3 or 66%
c) If the car sales ratios represented the same distribution among Wonderland's consumers, of the 500 drivers, how many would you expect to have a blue car?
--250/800 sold cars are blue, which is a proportion of 5:16, then we'd expect about 156 cars in Wonderland to be blue.
