Among respondents asked which is their favorite seat on a​ plane, 496 chose the window​ seat, 11 chose the middle​ seat, and 305 chose the aisle seat. What is the probability that a passenger prefers the middle​ seat? Is it unlikely for a passenger to prefer the middle​ seat? If​ so, why is the middle seat so​ unpopular? The probability that a passenger prefers the middle seat is . 014. ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.) Is it unlikely for a passenger to prefer the middle​ seat? A. ​Yes, because the probability that a passenger prefers the middle seat is greater than 0.05. B. ​No, because the probability that a passenger prefers the middle seat is greater than 0.05. C. ​No, because the probability that a passenger prefers the middle seat is less than 0.05. D. ​Yes, because the probability that a passenger prefers the middle seat is less than 0.05. Your answer is correct. If​ so, why is the middle seat so​ unpopular? A. The middle seat offers more opportunities for conversation with other passengers. B. The middle seat lacks an outside​ view, easy access to the​ aisle, and a passenger in the middle seat has passengers on both sides instead of on one side only. Your answer is correct.C. The middle seat is more comfortable than window or aisle seats. D. Tickets for the middle seat are cheaper. E. It is not true that the middle seat is unpopular.
