Answer:

Correct option: fourth one -> 87.6% (it is missing the point between 7 and 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 872 customers surveyed, and from this total, 384 were male, so the number of female is 872 - 384 = 488

From the 488 female, we know that 171 females prefer the Buffalo pizza, so the number of females that prefer the bbq pizza is 488 - 171 = 317.

If 425 customers prefered the bbq pizza, we know that the number of customers that prefer the buffalo pizza is 872 - 425 = 447

To find the probability of a customer being female or prefering the buffalo pizza, we can use this formula:

N(female or buffalo) = N(female) + N(buffalo) - N(female and buffalo)

N(female or buffalo) = 488 + 447 - 171 = 764

So the probability of chosing a female or someone that prefer buffalo is:

P = N(female or buffalo) / N(total) = 764 / 872 = 87.6%

Correct option: fourth one (it is missing the point between 7 and 6)

Answer:

87.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 872

Females who preferred Buffalo chicken pizza = 171

Total number of Males =  384

The total number of females would be: 872 - 384 = 488.

To find the total number that prefers bufflo since 425 prefer BBQ, we have: 872 - 425 = 447

The probability of a customer be female or preferring bufallo would be:

Number of female or buffalo = Number of female + Number that prefers buffalo - Number of female and buffalo

= 488 + 447 - 171 = 764

To find the probability that a customer chosen at random will be a female OR prefers Buffalo, we have:

Number of female or buffalo / total number of people

Therefore, we have:

[tex]= \frac{764}{872} = 0.876[/tex]

0.876 * 100 = 87.6%

The probability that a customer chosen at random will be a female or prefers Buffalo is 87.6%
