Answer 1

To find the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North, we need to calculate the relative frequency of people from the North who prefer cherries.

Total number of people who prefer cherries = 120 (North) + 25 (South) = 145
Number of people from the North who prefer cherries = 120

Relative frequency of people from the North who prefer cherries = (120 / 145) * 100 = 82.8%

So, the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is 82.8%.
