Solution

Given,
The total number of scooters parked in the area = $10$ .
The total number of motorcycles parked in the area = $5$ .
The total number of cars parked in the area = $15$ .
The total number of vehicles parked in the area = $10 + 5 + 15 = 30$ .
The probability that scooter will leave the parking first = $\frac{Number of scooters in the parking}{Total number of vehicles in the parking}$
= $\frac{10}{30}$
= $\frac{1}{3} .$
Hence, the probability that a scooter will leave the parking first is $\frac{1}{3} .$
