Question

A poll is taken at four different grocery stores to determine how far customers drive to shop at their store. The following information was gathered at the four stores. Customers That Drive < 5 miles Store W 52 of 100 Store X 68 of 75 Store Y 59 of 120 Store Z 28 of 50 If one customer is selected at random from each store, at which store would selecting a customer that drives less than 5 miles be a likely event?

Answer 1

Due to the higher proportion of customers driving less than 5 miles, it would be a likely event at store X.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

For each store, the proportion of customers driving less than 5 miles is given by:

• Store W: 52/100 = 0.52.

• Store X: 68/75 = 0.9068.

• Store Y: 59/120 = 0.4917.

• Store Z: 28/50 = 0.56.

Hence, due to the higher proportion of customers driving less than 5 miles, it would be a likely event at store X.
