The image is a bit blurry, but I can make out part of the question. Here's a reconstruction of the visible text:

The problem seems to be asking about a **probability** related to visitors at a castle. The part I can see is:

---

**"What is the probability that a randomly selected visitor is under 12 years of age?**

The total number of visitors to the castle in 2003 is estimated at 1.5 million.

Approximately 28 percent of the estimated number of visitors in 2003 were under 12 years of age."

The options seem to be:

A) 280  
B) 2,860  
C) 280,000  
D) 300,000

### To solve:

We are told that:
- The total number of visitors is **1.5 million**.
- Approximately **28%** of the visitors were under 12 years old.

We can calculate this by finding 28% of 1.5 million:

\[
\text{Number of visitors under 12} = \frac{28}{100} \times 1,500,000 = 420,000
\]

However, none of the options exactly match 420,000, so either the calculation needs adjustment, or there's some detail in the problem I'm missing due to the blur.

Could you clarify if there's any missing detail in the image, or would you like to ask about something else related to this? Let me know if you'd like further explanation.

Here are some follow-up questions you might find helpful:

1. How does the calculation change if percentages differ?
2. Why does multiplying by a percentage work in probability scenarios?
3. How would this problem change if it dealt with a subset of visitors instead of a percentage?
4. How would rounding affect the final answer in multiple-choice problems like this?
5. What alternative methods could be used to check answers in similar problems?

**Tip**: When calculating percentages, always ensure the total value is in the same units as what the percentage represents (e.g., millions, thousands).

What is the probability that a randomly selected visitor is under 12 years of age? The total number of visitors to the castle in 2003 is estimated at 1.5 million. Approximately 28 percent of the estimated number of visitors in 2003 were under 12 years of age.

Learn how to calculate the percentage of visitors under 12 years of age in a castle in 2003. The problem involves basic probability and percentage calculation, using a total number of 1.5 million visitors and 28% under 12 years of age.
