The children at a certain school were asked what they prefer

The children at a certain school were asked what they prefer to drink with their lunch, and the following table summarizes the children?s responses. 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?

Solution

Milk/ choc milk = 26%

Water = 15%

Since only these two are served with lunch, the favorable cases are where the first student likes either of these...

so, 26% + 15% = 41%

Answer --> 41%
