Question

A store offers four different brands of a product. It decides to eliminate one

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Brand B

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left|\begin{array}{cccc} Brand& Total Sold& Returns& Probability of Returns\\---&---&---&---\\ Brand A&343&17&\dfrac{17}{343}=0.0496 \\\\ Brand B&180&14&\dfrac{14}{180}=0.0778 \\\\ Brand C&383&16&\dfrac{16}{383}=0.0418\\\\ Brand D&246&8&\dfrac{8}{246}=0.0325\\&&&\end{array}\right|$

We can see from the table above that the experimental probability of returns of Brand B is the highest, therefore it has the highest likelihood of being returned.

The store should consider eliminating Brand B.
