Multiple Choice
0.24
0.37
0.10
0.30
Solution
To find the probability that a randomly selected customer prefers vanilla, we need to divide the number of people who prefer vanilla by the total number of people.
From the table, we can see that 33 people under 25 years old prefer vanilla and 22 people at least 25 years old prefer vanilla. So, the total number of people who prefer vanilla is 33 + 22 = 55.
The total number of residents is 150.
So, the probability that a randomly selected customer prefers vanilla is 55/150 = 0.37.
Therefore, the correct answer is 0.37.

A 1992 study of Dalmatians (by Strain and others, as reported in The Dalmatians Dilemma) found the following:(i) 31% of all Dalmatians have blue eyes.(ii) 38% of all Dalmatians are deaf.(iii) If a Dalmatian has blue eyes, there is a 42% chance that it is deaf.Based on the results of this study is "having blue eyes" independent of "being deaf"? No, since 0.38 is not equal to 0.42. Yes, since 0.31 * 0.38 is not equal to 0.42. Yes, since 0.38 is not equal to 0.42. No, since 0.31 is not equal to 0.42.
