What is the probability that a randomly selected
person is a pescatarian or female? Round your
answer to the hundredths place.

Answer 1

If you add all the numbers together and divide the number of females by the total number of people. It is a 5% chance that out of all the people, the group of 37 females, one would be selected.

If you add up all the numbers of people and divide by the number of pescatarians, there is an 89.5% chance of a pescatarian being selected.

all numbers added together, 72 meat eaters, and 616 pescatarians = 688

females = 37

37/688 = 0.0537 = 5.37 = rounded to hundredths place = 5%

all numbers added together = 688

number of pescatarians = 616

616/688 = .0895 = 89.5%
