Answer 1

The correct options are C and D.

Explanation:

We are given that,

Total number of customers = 75

So, from the survey table, we get,

Percent of customers who prefer Lemon Lift =
`(25)/(75)* 100` = 33.3%

Percent of customers who prefer Power Pear =
`(17)/(75)* 100` = 22.7%

Percent of customers who prefer Tangy Apple =
`(12)/(75)* 100` = 16%

Percent of customers who prefer Wild Berry =
`(21)/(75)* 100` = 28%

Thus, the correct options are,

C. Lemon Lift is the juice drink preferred by most customers.

D. Tangy Apple is the juice drink preferred by the fewest customers.

Answer 2

So,

Here are the statistics.

Lemon Lift: 25/75
Power Pear: 17/75
Tangy Apple: 12/75
Wild Berry: 21/75

Here are the statistics in percentages.

Lemon Lift: 33%
Power Pear: 23%
Tangy Apple: 16%
Wild Berry: 28%

Now, we just compare the statistics with the answer options and find out that options C and D agree with the statistics. Options A and B are incorrect.
