Question

The records of a computer retail store show that out of the 25

customers who purchased a desktop computer last month, all but 9

also purchased a service plan that extends the warranty for an extra year. Out of the 50

customers who purchased a notebook computer last month, all but 10

purchased the same service plan.

Fill in the blanks of the statement below to make the statement the most reasonable possible.

Last month, customers of the store who purchased _____ (desktop or notebook?) computers were more likely to purchase the service plan, because only

_____ did not purchase the service plan, whereas _____

of the customers who bought _______ (desktop or notebook?) computers did not purchase the service plan.

Answer 1

9 out of 25 = 9/25 * 100 = 36% did not purchase the purchase plan.

10 out of 50 = 10/50 * 100 = 20% did not purchase the purchase plan.

Those who purchased the notebook were more likely to purchase the service plan because only 20% did not purchase the purchase plan, whereas 36% of the customers who bought the desktop computers did not purchase the purchase plan.
