Wrong
I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is:
False.
This can be determined by calculating the relative frequencies for each fruit preference in the North:
Cherries: 120 / (120 + 125) = 120 / 245 ≈ 0.49
Grapes: 125 / (120 + 125) = 125 / 245 ≈ 0.51
Since the relative frequency for grapes is slightly higher than cherries, we can conclude that people from the North tend to like grapes more than cherries.
