Answer 1

To find the probability that a randomly selected person from the survey prefers bacon or pancakes, we need to add the number of people who prefer bacon and the number of people who prefer pancakes and then divide that sum by the total number of people surveyed.

The number of people who prefer bacon is 31.
The number of people who prefer pancakes is 21.

So, the sum of people who prefer bacon or pancakes is 31 + 21 = 52.

The total number of people surveyed is 100.

Therefore, the probability is 52/100 = 26/50 = 13/25.

So, the answer is 13 over 25.
