Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A

exactly 4

There are 12 adults.

4 like oatmeal cookies the best.

P(exactly 4) = 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.3333...

B)

At least 4

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

So there are 9 choices (4 .. 12) of those who could like oatmeal cookies the best.

P(9) = 9/12 = 0.75

C)

1 2 3

There are at most 3 people who could like oatmeal cookies the best.

P(<4) = 3/12 = 0.25

Less than 4 who would choose oatmeal cookies = 1/4
