Question

answer the following question based on the data in the table.
select the correct answer.
what is the probability that a person with an iron deficiency is 20 years or older?
a. 0.23
b. 0.34
c. 0.60
d. 0.78

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

Number of people with iron deficiency (Yes) = 102.
Number of people with iron deficiency (Yes) who are 20 years or older = 37 + 24 = 61.

Step2: Calculate probability

Probability formula: \(P=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\).
Here, \(P=\frac{61}{102}\approx0.60\)

Answer:

C. 0.60
