Answer 1

I don’t have the numbers from the survey or the expected attendance in your message — the counts for Roses/Tulips/Orchids and the total expected visitors are missing. I can’t pick the correct choice without those.

How to get the answer once you have the data:
1. Let T = number of people who chose Tulips, O = number who chose Orchids, and n = total sample size (Roses+Tulips+Orchids).
2. Proportion who prefer tulips or orchids = (T + O) / n.
3. If the garden expects N visitors, predicted number who prefer tulips or orchids = N * (T + O) / n. Round to the nearest whole visitor.
4. Match that result to the closest multiple-choice option.

If you paste the survey counts and the expected attendance (N), I’ll compute the result and pick the correct choice.
