The chances of success in cycling across the United States is higher on the central route because more than half of the people who started on this route finished it (52%), while on the other routes the chances of successful completion is lower (route north (0%) south (0.02%).
Probability is a way of measuring the certainty that an event will occur represented by a numerical value from 0 to 1, where an impossible event corresponds to zero and a certain event corresponds to one.
According to the above, to find the probability of success in crossing the United States from coast to coast, we must divide the number of successful attempts by the total number of attempts as shown below:
North Route
Center Route
South Route
According to the above, the highest probability of success is found in the central route with 0.52, that is to say that more than half of those who tried this route finished.

Doug is going to ride his bicycle 3,000 miles across the United States, from coast to coast. He wants to choose the route that will give him the greatest chance of success. Here's what he finds in his research on him:
There have been 2 attempts on the northern route from Maine to Washington. Both of those riders made it 2,000 miles and quit in Montana.
There have been 19 attempts on the central route from Vir-ginia to California; 9 of those riders didn't do it and the other 10 made it all the way to the Pacific.
There have been 32 attempts on the southern route from Florida to San Diego. One of those riders made it the whole way. Another realized he was out of shape, and quit before he even started. The other 30 riders quit somewhere in Texas. They were evenly distributed between 1,300 and 1,700 miles.
