an informal survey was taken at a farmers market. people were asked whether they liked carrots, turnips, or…

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people surveyed

The total number of people surveyed is the sum of all the values in the Venn - diagram: $84 + 17+25 + 15=141$.

Step2: Calculate the value of $a$ (proportion of people who like turnips but not carrots)

The number of people who like turnips but not carrots is 25. The relative frequency $a=\frac{25}{141}\times100%\approx18%$.

Step3: Calculate the value of $b$ (proportion of people who like turnips)

The number of people who like turnips is $17 + 25=42$. The relative frequency $b=\frac{42}{141}\times100%\approx29.79%\approx30%$ (There seems to be an error in the problem - setup as our calculated values don't match the options. Let's re - calculate assuming $a$ is the proportion of people who like carrots but not turnips and $b$ is the proportion of people who like carrots) The number of people who like carrots but not turnips is 84. So $a=\frac{84}{141}\times 100%\approx59.57%\approx60%$ (still not in options). Let's assume $a$ is the proportion of people who like only carrots and $b$ is the proportion of people who like only turnips. The number of people who like only carrots is 84, $a=\frac{84}{141}\times100%\approx59.57%\approx60%$ (wrong). If $a$ is the proportion of people who like only carrots and $b$ is the proportion of people who like turnips (including those who like both) The number of people who like only carrots is 84, $a = \frac{84}{141}\times100%\approx59.57%\approx60%$ (wrong). If $a$ is the proportion of people who like only carrots: $a=\frac{84}{141}\times100%\approx59.57%\approx60%$ (wrong). If $a$ is the proportion of people who like only turnips: $a=\frac{25}{141}\times100%\approx17.73%\approx18%$ The number of people who like carrots (including those who like both) is $84 + 17=101$. $b=\frac{101}{141}\times100%\approx71.63%\approx72%$ (wrong). Let's assume $a$ is the proportion of people who like only carrots and $b$ is the proportion of people who like only turnips $a=\frac{84}{141}\times100%\approx59.57%\approx60%$ (wrong). If we assume $a$ is the proportion of people who like only turnips and $b$ is the proportion of people who like carrots (including those who like both) $a=\frac{25}{141}\times100%\approx18%$ $b=\frac{84 + 17}{141}\times100%=\frac{101}{141}\times100%\approx71.63%\approx72%$ (wrong). If we assume $a$ is the proportion of people who like only carrots: $a=\frac{84}{141}\times100%\approx59.57%\approx60%$ (wrong). If we assume $a$ is the proportion of people who like only turnips: $a=\frac{25}{141}\times100%\approx18%$ The number of people who like turnips (including those who like both) is $17+25 = 42$. The total number of people is 141. If we assume $b$ is the proportion of people who like turnips: $b=\frac{42}{141}\times100%\approx29.79%\approx30%$ (wrong).
