Round your answer to the hundredths place.

Answer 1

0.38

Explanation:

There are a total of 38 pescatarians and 35 vegetarians. This is obtained by looking at the column totals for those categories and includes both males and females

There are a total of 190 participants in the survey

P(pescatarian) = 38/190

P(vegetarian) = 35/190

P(pescatarian or vegetarian)

= P(pescatarian) + P(vegetarian)

= 38/190 + 35/190

= 73/190

= 0.3842

= 0.38 (rounded to hundredths place)
