We need to find total number of shoppers.

That is all the cells of the tables added together.

Thus,

Total Number of shoppers = 15 + 105 + 37 + 20 + 53 + 7 + 13 + 67 + 73 + 1 + 3 + 13 + 42 + 51 = 500

Now, we need the total number of shoppers at Sears [both female and male]. We add the Column of Sears:

Total Number of Sears Shoppers = 53 + 13 = 66

So, the probability of selecting a shopper who prefer to shop at Sears is:

66/500

In decimal,

0.132

In percentage,

0.132 * 100 = 13.2%

Answer:13.20%
