Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Total number of survey children's age from 19-36 months, n(S)=364
In those of them 91 out of them liked to eat potato chips.
`therefore` Number of children who do not like to eat potato chips, n( E)=364-91=273
`therefore` Probability that he/she does not like to eat potato chips `=(n(E))/(n(S))=273/364=0.75`
Hence, the probability that he/she does not like to eat potato chips is 0.75.
