Answer 1

C. The likelihood of having hazel eyes is 10%.

Explanation:

Total number of people = 35 + 4 + 10 + 1 = 50

A. The likelihood of having blue eyes is 8%. True

`(4)/(50) * 100 = 8`

B. The likelihood of having hazel eyes is greater than the likelihood of having blue eyes. True

10 > 4

C. The likelihood of having hazel eyes is 10%. False

`(10)/(50) * 100 = 20`

D. The likelihood of having brown eyes is greater than the likelihood of having hazel or green eyes. True

brown eyes = 35

hazel eyes = 10

green eyes = 1
