Question

PLEASE HELPPP!!!!!!! A company is focus testing a new type of fruit drink. The focus group is 47% male. Of the responses, 40% of the males and 54% of the females said they would buy the fruit drink. What is the probability that a randomly selected person would buy the fruit drink?

Answer 1

Answer: 47.42% or 47.4% (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

.40 (40%; males) x .47 = .188

.54 (54%; females) x .54 = .862

A total of males to females in the group that would buy the fruit drink is .188 + .862 = .4742 which results in 47.42% when you move the decimal three places.        

Answer 2

The probability that a randomly selected person would buy the fruit drink is 47.42%.

What is the probability?

Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.

The probability that a randomly selected person would buy the fruit drink = (0.47 x 0.40) + (0.53 x 0.54) = 47.42%
