A survey was given to two different age groups about whether they enjoy a local theater production. Use the results in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected participant is 20-29 years old and did not enjoy the production. I got this wrong I just want to know how? How do you solve this? Please help.

There are 50 people total. Of these 50 people, 8 of them are in the 20-29 age group AND they did not enjoy the show. This value is found in the top right hand corner of the table in the "20-29" row and "did not enjoy" column.

Divide the two values mentioned: 8/50 = 0.160

This represents a 16% chance of picking someone who fits the description.

Answer:

8/50 or 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to this question is the same as the last one. You have to figure out the number of people in the universe. That means that all 4 rectangles must be added together. There is no one else. They either come from the older age group or the younger one. They come either from liking what they saw or hating it. So the Universe is 10 + 26 + 8 + 6 = 50

Now after you have everyone accounted for you need to pick someone who is 20 - 29 (the younger group) which is either 10 or 8 further more, did not like it.

That means you are choosing the 8 number.

8/50 = 0.16 is the answer.

The answer you picked was those of either age group who enjoyed what they saw, but dividing by 100 and not 50. You should have been dividing by 50. Even so, the answer is not correct.
