To find the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North, we need to divide the number of people from the North who prefer cherries by the total number of people who prefer cherries, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
The number of people from the North who prefer cherries is 120.
The total number of people who prefer cherries is 120 + 25 = 145.
120 / 145 = 0.8276.
Multiplying by 100, we get 82.8.
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is 82.8%.
To find the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of people from the North who prefer cherries to the total number of people who prefer cherries.
From the table, we see that 120 people prefer cherries in the North.
Now, let's find the total number of people who prefer cherries. From the table, we see that a total of 120 + 25 = 145 people prefer cherries.
To calculate the percentage, we divide the number of people who prefer cherries in the North by the total number of people who prefer cherries, and then multiply by 100.
Percentage chance = (number of people who prefer cherries in the North / total number of people who prefer cherries) x 100
Percentage chance = (120 / 145) x 100
Percentage chance ≈ 82.8%
Therefore, there is approximately an 82.8% chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North.
To calculate the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North, we need to find the ratio of the number of people from the North who prefer cherries to the total number of people who prefer cherries.
According to the table, the number of people from the North who prefer cherries is 120.
The total number of people who prefer cherries is 120 + 25 = 145.
To find the percentage, divide the number of people from the North who prefer cherries by the total number of people who prefer cherries, and then multiply by 100:
(120 / 145) * 100 = 82.8%
Therefore, the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is approximately 82.8%.
