A.1/5
B.13/25
C.1/10
D.18/25

Answer 1

1/5 is the answer homie

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people who prefer chips = 12

Number of people who prefer pretzels = 14

Total number of people = 50

So, Probability that one preferred the potato chips or pretzels is given by

$\dfrac{12}{50}+\dfrac{14}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{26}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{25}$

Probability that one preferred the potato chips or pretzels is $\dfrac{13}{25}$

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
