Reyna · Answer 1

0.0784 or 7.84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Probability that adults (age 18 and older) eat at a fast food restaurant about once a week, P (F) = 28% = 0.28

Now,

Probability that two randomly selected adults would both say they eat at a fast food restaurant about once a week

= First adult selected eats fast food * Second adult selected eats fast food

= 0.28 * 0.28

= 0.0784

or

= 0.0784 * 100%

= 7.84%
