Question

Use the two-way table to answer the question.

A student surveys classmates to find out if they prefer muffins or cookies with or without nuts. The table summarizes the responses of the survey.

Part B
If a student prefers nuts, what is the approximate probability the student also prefers muffins?
O 11%
O 18%
O 31%
O 46%

Answer 1

A.) 11%

Explanation:

Step 1) There are 9 favorable outcomes but only 1 outcome is possible, so that leaves us with a fraction of:
`(1)/(9)`

Step 2) Then we need to turn this into a decimal to find the percentage:

1 ÷ 9 = 0.111111111...

Step 3) We now need to turn this into a percent:

0.11 x 100% = 11%
