Answer 2

B. Brand B

Explanation:

`\left|\begin{array}{cccc}$Brand&$Total Sold&$Returns&$Probability of Returns\\---&---&---&---\\$Brand A&343&17&(17)/(343)=0.0496 \\\\$Brand B&180&14&(14)/(180)=0.0778 \\\\$Brand C&383&16&(16)/(383)=0.0418\\\\$Brand D&246&8&(8)/(246)=0.0325\\&&&\end{array}\right|`

We can see from the table above that the experimental probability of returns of Brand B is the highest, therefore it has the highest likelihood of being returned.

The store should consider eliminating Brand B.
