Question

In a recent survey, 18 people preferred milk, 29 people preferred coffee, and 13 people preferred juice as their primary drink for breakfast. If a person is selected at random, find the probability that the person preferred milk as his or her primary drink.

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability that the person preferred milk as his or her primary drink  = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

In a recent survey, 18 people preferred milk, 29 people preferred coffee, and 13 people preferred juice as their primary drink for breakfast .

Total no of people is =  18 + 29 + 13 = 60

If a person is selected at random ,

The probability of person preferred milk = $\frac{18}{60}$

The probability of person preferred coffee = $\frac{29}{60}$

The probability of person preferred juice = $\frac{13}{60}$

Probability that the person preferred milk as his or her primary drink =

P ( milk ) = $\mathbf{\frac{No\;of\;favourable\;outcomes}{total\;no\;of\:outcomes}}$

    =   $\frac{18}{60}$  =  0.3
