Answer 1

0.32

.22

regular (capuccino is incorrect)

Explanation:

in the mocha column 25 people prefer hot and 12 people prefer cold are equal to 37 people. 25+12=37

relative frequency of preferring cold is 12. 12÷37 = .32

In the hot column 11, 25, 19, 30 people are combined for total of 85 people who prefer hot coffee. 11+25+19+30=85

relative frequency of preferring a latte is 19: 19÷85 = .22

combine regular column for 17 ÷ 28 = .61

combine mocha column for 12÷40 = .30

combine latte column for 20÷39 = .51

combine cappucino column for 27÷57 = .47

The type of coffee that has the highest percentage of people who prefer it cold is regular. (if you combine only the cold column you will end up with cappuccino which is wrong.)
