The 950 children at a certain school were asked what they prefer to drink with their lunch, and the following responses were obtained. Drink Number soft drinks 382 mi1kchoco1ate mill 259 water 132 tea 35 other 142 The school only serves milk, chocolate milk, or water with lunch. What is the probability that the first student in line for lunch will be served their preferred beverage with their lunch? Round to two decimal places.

Solution

259 + 132 = 391

391 people have the chance that they can be served their preferred beverage

This is so because we consider only the mile/choco milk and water cases because those are the only things served during lunch

So, we have 391 favorable cases out of a total of 950

Probability = 391/950

= 0.41 ---> ANSWER
