Final answer:
The preference for Quisp is dependent on gender.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking whether the probability that a person prefers Quisp is independent of their gender. In order to determine this, we need to compare the probabilities of preferring Quisp for each gender. If the probabilities are the same, then the preference for Quisp is independent of gender. If the probabilities are different, then the preference for Quisp is dependent on gender.
An example:
- Let's say we have 100 people, 70 of them are male and 30 are female.
- Out of the 70 males, 40 prefer Quisp.
- Out of the 30 females, 15 prefer Quisp.
- Probability of preferring Quisp for males = 40/70 = 0.57 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
- Probability of preferring Quisp for females = 15/30 = 0.50 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
In this example, the probabilities are different, which means that the preference for Quisp is dependent on gender. Therefore, the correct answer is B) No, the probability that a person prefers Quisp is not independent of their gender.
