Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know the percentage of women among people who only prefer exercise.

We have the following information:

                Diet Only      Exercise Only   Diet and Exercise

Men                 7                 28                           15

Women          22                   18                           10

Then we get the total of people who prefer just exercise.

$28 + 18 = 46$

Now the proportion of women who only prefer exercise is calculated as:

$w = \frac{18}{46}\\\\w = 0.39$

Therefore we must search among the options the table that shows a proportion of 39 for women who prefer only the exercise.

This table is in option C.

C.

Men                    0.24                  0.61                   0.60

Women             0.76                  0.39                   0.40
