Respuesta :

Calculation: 24 chicken + 10 fish + 8 vegetables + 6 potatoes + 14 pasta + 18 beef = 80

Total persons = 80

Persons choose paste = 14

So it will be 14/80 X 100/1   (14 divided by 80 X 100%)

= 17.5%

The probability that he chose pasta is 17.5% and this can be determined by using the concept of probability and the given data.

Given :

  • The graph shows the results of a survey that asked people to choose their favorite dinner foods.
  • One of the persons surveyed is chosen at random.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the probability that he chose pasta:

Step 1 - The concept of probability can be used in order to determine the probability that he chose pasta.

Step 2 - The total number of persons that chooses dinner foods are:

= 8 + 6 + 14 + 18 + 24 + 10

= 80

Step 3 - The total number of persons that chooses pasta (dinner food) is 14.

Step 4 - So, the probability that he chose pasta is:

[tex]=\dfrac{14}{80}\times 100[/tex]

Step 5 - Simplify the above expression.

= 17.5%
