Examine the data from a survey about the part of state people are from and the food they prefer if a person prefers cherries what is the percentage chance that they are from the north rounder answer to the nearest 10th
In order to calculate the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the north, we need to determine the total number of people who prefer cherries and the number of those people who are from the north.
Let's assume that the survey data shows the following:
- 40% of people prefer cherries
- 25% of people who prefer cherries are from the north
To calculate the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the north, we can multiply the percentage of people who prefer cherries by the percentage of those people who are from the north:
0.40 (percentage of people who prefer cherries) x 0.25 (percentage of those people who are from the north) = 0.10
Therefore, there is a 10% chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the north. Rounding to the nearest 10th gives us 10%.
