Question

18 of the 47 people surveyed said they were not interested in trying a sample of a new soft drink. find the probability that a randomly selected person was interested in trying the new drink.

Answer 1

47-18=29 people interested in the new drink
29/47=0.617
0.617*100=61.7% chance
Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: 0.62

Explanation:

Total people= 47

Let A be the event of selecting person was interested in trying the new drink.

Person not interested in trying a sample of a new soft drink (nA')=18

Person interested in trying a sample of a new soft drink (nA)=47-18=29

Thus probability that a randomly selected person was interested in trying the new drink

`P(A)=(29)/(47)=0.6170\approx0.62`

Thus, probability that a randomly selected person was interested in trying the new drink is 0.62.
