18 of the 47 people surveyed said they were not interested in trying a sample of a new soft drink. find the probability that a randomly selected person was interested in trying the new drink.

Respuesta :

47-18=29 people interested in the new drink
29/47=0.617
0.617*100=61.7% chance
Hope this helps

Answer: 0.62


Step-by-step explanation:

Total people= 47

Let A be the event of selecting person was interested in trying the new drink.

Person not interested in trying a sample of a new soft drink (nA')=18

Person interested in trying a sample of a new soft drink (nA)=47-18=29

Thus probability that a randomly selected person was interested in trying the new drink

[tex]P(A)=\frac{29}{47}=0.6170\approx0.62[/tex]

Thus, probability that a randomly selected person was interested in trying the new drink is 0.62.
