Examine the data from a survey about the part of a state people are from and the fruit they prefer. If a person prefers cherries, what is the chance that they are from the North? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To calculate the chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North, we need to look at the number of people from the North who prefer cherries and compare it to the total number of people who prefer cherries.

Let's assume that the survey data shows that 30 people from the North prefer cherries out of a total of 100 people who prefer cherries.

The probability that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is:
(30/100) * 100% = 30%

Therefore, the chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is 30%.
