u need to pick one the answers on the choices
65 over 150
can u explain and check answer
To find the probability that a randomly chosen person dislikes apple juice, we need to calculate the ratio of people who dislike apple juice to the total number of people surveyed.
Total number of people surveyed = 150
Number of people who dislike apple juice = 85
Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen person dislikes apple juice is 85/150.
To simplify the ratio, you can divide the numerator and the denominator by 5:
85 ÷ 5 = 17
150 ÷ 5 = 30
So, the simplified ratio is 17/30.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
65 over 150
dude u just said the simplified to 17/30 how the nuckle buckle is it 65 over 150
Apologies for the error in my responses, and thank you for catching that mistake. Let's correct it:
Out of the 150 surveyed people, 85 dislike apple juice.
Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen person dislikes apple juice is 85/150.
Since 85 and 150 share a common factor of 5, we can simplify the ratio by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 5:
85 ÷ 5 = 17
150 ÷ 5 = 30
Hence, the correct simplified form for the probability that a randomly chosen person dislikes apple juice is 17/30.
I appreciate your attention to detail, and I apologize for the error in my previous responses. Thank you for pointing it out.
