In a survey of `364` children aged `19-36` months, it was found that `91` liked to eat potato chips. If a child is selected at random, the probability that he/she does not like to eat potato chips, is

Options

A. `0.25`
B. `0.50`
C. `0.75`
D. `0.80`

Answer

C

Explanation

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.
