Question

in health class, the students were asked what grain they prefered in their breakfast cereal. The results are shown in the table. what's the probability that a randomly chosen student in the health class listed oats as their favorite grain?A. 20%B. 25%C. 35%D. 14%

Answer 1

To find the probability of a randomly choosen student listing oats as its favorite grain, divide the number of students that chose oats by the total number of students and multiply the fraction by 100%.

To find the total number of students, add the numbers under each cereal:

`12+14+8+6=40`

The number of students who chose oats, is 14. Then, the requested probability, is:

`(14)/(40)*100=35\text{ \%}`
