Question #N667
A survey of 100 people found that 60 people prefer to eat breakfast, 40 people prefer to eat lunch, and 20 people prefer to eat dinner. If a person is chosen at random from the survey, what is the probability that the person prefers to eat breakfast?
A. 0.2
B. 0.4
C. 0.6
D. 0.8
Correct Answer is: C
The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. In this case, there are 60 people who prefer to eat breakfast out of a total of 100 people. Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen person prefers to eat breakfast is 60/100, or 0.6.
