To find the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North, we need to compare the number of people from the North who prefer cherries to the total number of people who prefer cherries.
Number of people from the North who prefer cherries: 120
Total number of people who prefer cherries: 120 + 25 = 145
Percentage chance = (120/145) x 100% ≈ 82.8%
Therefore, the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is approximately 82.8%.
Cherries: north: 120 and south: 25
Grapes: north: 125 and south: 75
Examine the data from a survey about the part of the state people are from and the fruit they prefer. If a person prefers cherries, what is the percentage chance that they are from the North? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
