The probability that a student prefers to do the chore in silence will be 0.52.
Its simple notion is that something will most likely occur. The favorable event's proportion to the overall number of occurrences.
A random sample of students was asked whether they preferred to sweep the floor or to do the dishes, and whether they preferred to hear music or have silence while doing the chore.
The results of the survey are summarized in the table.
Sweep Dishes Total
Music 36 60 96
Silence 42 62 104
Total 78 122 200
Then the probability that a student prefers to do the chore in silence will be
P = 104 / 200
P = 0.52
Thus, the correct option is E.
