Respuesta :

You have to calculate the ratio between students that prefer soccer and the students that prefer basketball

First step is to determine the totalnumber of students that prefer either sport:

Soccer:

[tex]14+12+8+15+11=60[/tex]

Basketball:

[tex]8+7+10+7+8=40[/tex]

Next is to calculate the ratio by dividing both.

Ratio Soccer/Basketball

[tex]\frac{60}{40}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

The ratio of soccer/basketball preference between students is

[tex]3\colon2[/tex]

Correct choice is E.
