Question 8 • Mathematics for College Liberal Arts Sem 1 (1207350) BCPS 2025-26

An elected official surveyed residents of a town to assess their satisfaction with city services. The survey includes both those who own and those who rent their homes. Level of Satisfaction HighMediumLowTotalOwners26341878Renters1512532Total414623110What is the probability that a resident reports high satisfaction, given that the resident is a renter?

Answer
A
13.7%
B
20.0%
C
36.6%
D
46.9%

Explanation

Because the question is conditional on being a renter, use the renter total as the denominator. Of the 32 renters, 15 report high satisfaction, so the probability is 15 ÷ 32 = 0.46875, or about 46.9%. The correct choice is 46.9%.
