Answer:

a. 0.26

b. 0.7

c. 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

For a)

For sponsored studies: 62 %  found the products favorable. The percentage is 0.62.

For non-sponsored studies 46% found the products favorable. The percentage is 0.46

Total probability = P(A) × P (B)

                           = 0.46 × 0.62

                           = 0.2604

For b)

Probability for the food industry = 0.7

For c) 1 - ( 0.62) = 0.38
