Answer 1

The proportion of those surveyed who chose basketball as their favorite sport is approximately 22.82%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the proportion of those surveyed who chose basketball as their favorite sport, we need to calculate the number of people who chose basketball and divide it by the total number of people surveyed.

From the given data, we can see that the number of people who chose basketball as their favorite sport is 34.
