Graph shows:
humor- 13 out of 25
nonfiction- 8 out of 25
mystery- 15 out of 25
romance- 6 out of 25
adventure- 13 out of 25

Respuesta :

Humor - .52 

nonfiction - .32 

.2 more prefer humor over nonfiction

Answer with explanation:

The entry in the graph are :

humor-    13 out of 25

nonfiction-   8 out of 25

mystery-   15 out of 25

romance-   6 out of 25

adventure-  13 out of 25

i.e. the probability of choosing humor books= 13/25

and the probability of choosing non-fiction= 8/25

Now there are a total of 605 students enrolled at the school.

  • Hence, the number of students preferring humor books is:

[tex]\dfrac{13}{25}\times 605\\\\=314.6[/tex]

which is approximately equal to 315 students

  • and the  number of students preferring non-fiction is:

[tex]\dfrac{8}{25}\times 605\\\\=193.6[/tex]

which is approximately equal to 194 students
