Question

can someone give me the process to awnswer the question? this is basically all we're learning right now so it would be really nice!​

Answer 1

1/8 is the probability of any student who is surveyed randomly ,likes chicken.

Explanation:

Total students surveyed = 240

Number of Students who like chicken = 30

Number of students who like pasta = 18

Now, Let E: Event of children preferring chicken

Then ,
`P(E) =  \frac{\textrm{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcome}}`

⇒ P(E) = 30/ 240

P(Students who like chicken) = 1/8

So, the 1/8 is the probability of any student who is surveyed randomly ,likes chicken.
