Answer 1

Your question lacks some parts attached below is the complete question

Answer : 2.66

Explanation:

The expected number ( E ) can be calculated using the formula below

`E = (row total * column total )/(gross total)`

since we are computing the number of subjects that would prefer Linux operating system and are also rated as exceptional

The row total to be used = 53 ( row total of exceptional )

The column total to be used = 13 ( column total of Linux )

The gross total to be used = summation of row total of both exceptional and no-exceptional = 259

BACK TO THE EQUATION

E =
`(53*13)/(259)` = 689 / 259

E = 2.6602 ≈ 2.66
