Answer:
3. 72.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call M the event that the customer is male and C the event that the customer prefer chocolate chips Scones.
So, the probability P(M∪C) that a customer chosen at random will be a male or prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones is calculated as:
P(M∪C) = P(M) + P(C) - P(M∩C)
Then, there are 145 males (317 customer - 172 females = 145 males), so the probability that the customer is a males is:
P(M) = 145/317 = 0.4574
There are 167 customers that prefer chocolate chips Scones ( 317 customers - 150 customers that prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones = 167), so the probability that a customer prefer chocolate chips Scones is:
P(C) = 167/317 = 0.5268
Finally, 81 customers were males and prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones, so the probability that a customer will be a male and prefer chocolate chip scones is:
P(M∩C) = 81/317 = 0.2555
Therefore, P(M∪C) is equal to:
P(M∪C) = 0.4574 + 0.5268 - 0.2555
P(M∪C) = 0.7287
P(M∪C) = 72.9%
Answer:
3. 72.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Desired outcomes:
Male or prefers the Chocolate Chip Scones. That is, males and females who prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.
There are 172 female customers and 317-172 = 145 male customers.
150 customers prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones. So 317 - 150 = 167 customers prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.
81 of those are male, so 167 - 81 = 86 are female.
So the total of desired outcomes is 86 + 145 = 231
Total outcomes:
317 total customers.
Probability:
231/317 = 0.729
So the correct answer is:
3. 72.9%
