Question

a sample of adults was asked to choose their favorite sport to watch from a list of four sports. what proportion of those surveyed chose basketball as their favorite sport?
\\( \frac { 34 } { 149 } \\)
\\( \frac { 15 } { 49 } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for proportion

Proportion = \(\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\)

Step2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes and total number of outcomes

The number of people who chose basketball is \(34\) (from the table). The total number of people surveyed is \(149\) (from the table).

Step3: Calculate the proportion

Proportion = \(\frac{34}{149}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{34}{149}\)
