In a study of brand recognition, 1134 consumers knew of Pepsi, and 2 did not. Use these results to estimate the probability that a randomly selected consumer will recognize Pepsi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of consumers is (1134 + 2) = 1136.

Among these people, 1134 will be able to recognize the brand Pepsi.

The required probability is the ratio between the members who will recognize Pepsi and the total number of consumers. Here the probability will be the ratio between 1134 and 1136.

Hence, the required probability is .

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
