Answer 2

Answer:

The correct statement is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

Compute the probabilities for the data provided:

Probability students preferring sharks:

$P(\text{Students preferring sharks})=\frac{90}{95}=0.947$

Probability teachers preferring sharks:

$P(\text{Teachers preferring sharks})=\frac{5}{95}=0.053$

Probability students preferring moose:

$P(\text{Students preferring moose})=\frac{10}{20}=0.50$

Probability teachers preferring moose:

$P(\text{Teachers preferring moose})=\frac{10}{20}=0.50$

From the above computations it can be concluded that:

• Shark is more popular with students.
• Moose is equally popular with students and teachers.

Thus, the correct statement is (D).
