Final answer:

The probability that a passenger prefers to sit in the front of the plane and prefers a window seat is 2/9, which is Answer A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the probability that a passenger prefers to sit in the front of the plane and prefers a window seat. From the given table, we know that 8 passengers prefer front window seats out of a total of 36 passengers. To calculate this probability, we will divide the number of passengers who prefer front window seats by the total number of passengers surveyed.

To find the probability that a passenger prefers to sit in the front of the plane and prefers a window seat, we need to look at the total number of passengers who prefer the front and window seats and divide it by the total number of passengers.

From the tabl

The calculation is as follows:

Probability = (Number of passengers who prefer front window seats) / (Total number of passengers)

Probability = 8 / 36

Probability = 2 / 9

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 2/9.
