Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the proportion of positive reviews for the first pair

The proportion of positive reviews for the first pair is $\frac{19}{25}$.
$$\frac{19}{25}=19\div25 = 0.76$$

Step2: Calculate the proportion of positive reviews for the second pair

The proportion of positive reviews for the second pair is $\frac{99}{132}$.
$$\frac{99}{132}=99\div132 = 0.75$$

Step3: Compare the two proportions

Since $0.76>0.75$, the first pair has a higher proportion of positive reviews.

Answer:

Fran should buy the first pair (the green - patterned shoes). The proportion of positive reviews for the first pair ($\frac{19}{25}=0.76$) is higher than that for the second pair ($\frac{99}{132}=0.75$). A higher proportion of positive reviews indicates better overall satisfaction among buyers for the first pair.
