Very Hard Data Analysis And Probability Data Interpretation

In a study to analyze the reading preferences of 200 students in a community school, the following data represents the number of students who prefer different genres:

Genres:

  • Fiction: 60
  • Non-Fiction: 50
  • Fantasy: 30
  • Science Fiction: 40
  • Mystery: 20

The researchers then calculated the percentage of students who preferred each genre as follows:

  • Fiction: $\frac{60}{200} imes 100 = 30\\% $
  • Non-Fiction: $\frac{50}{200} imes 100 = 25\\% $
  • Fantasy: $\frac{30}{200} imes 100 = 15\\% $
  • Science Fiction: $\frac{40}{200} imes 100 = 20\\% $
  • Mystery: $\frac{20}{200} imes 100 = 10\\% $

Based on this data, which of the following statements is true regarding the percentage of students who preferred either Fiction or Science Fiction?
