A local coffee house surveyed 317 customers regarding their preference of chocolate chip or cranberry walnut scones . 150 customers prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones . 81 customers who responded were males and prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones . 172 female customers responded . Find the probability that a customer chosen at random will be a male or prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones . 1. 25.6%
2. 24.1%
3. 72.9%
4. 98.4%

3. 72.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

Male or prefers the Chocolate Chip Scones. That is, males and females who prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

There are 172 female customers and 317-172 = 145 male customers.

150 customers prefer the Cranberry Walnut Scones. So 317 - 150 = 167 customers prefer the Chocolate Chip Scones.

81 of those are male, so 167 - 81 = 86 are female.

So the total of desired outcomes is 86 + 145 = 231

Total outcomes:

317 total customers.

Probability:

231/317 = 0.729

So the correct answer is:

3. 72.9%
