Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C 20.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution chart representing the opinions of employed adult women about government funding for day care is as follows:

Rating (X)        Probability (p)

     1                      0.110

     2                      0.206

     3                      0.464

     4                      0.201

     5                      0.119

The ratings are defined as follows:

1: too little

2: helpful but not enough

3: make a difference but insufficient

4: sufficient

5: generous

The probability of women who think that the support is sufficient is, 0.201.

The percentage is: 0.201 × 100 = 20.1%

Thus, the percentage of women who think that the support is sufficient is 20.1%.

The correct option is C.
