D. 2/3

Answer 1

The probability that a passenger prefers to sit in the front of the plane and prefers a window seat is 8 out of 36, which simplifies to 2/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability that a passenger prefers to sit in the front of the plane and prefers a window seat.

According to the given data table, there are 8 passengers who prefer to sit in the front with a window seat out of a total of 36 passengers surveyed.

To find the probability, we divide the number of passengers who prefer the front window seat by the total number of passengers:

Probability = Number of front window seat preferences / Total Number of Passengers

Probability = 8 / 36 = 2/9

Therefore the answer is A. 2/9.
