Question: 1 / 115

In a sample of 400 adults, how many do not want to learn how to ski if 75 do not like cold weather and 92 want to learn to ski?

75

200

77

To determine how many adults in the sample do not want to learn how to ski, we need to analyze the information given. The total number of adults is 400. We know that 92 adults want to learn to ski.

The calculation is as follows:

Total adults in the sample: 400

Adults wanting to learn to ski: 92

So, the number of adults who do not want to learn to ski is calculated as:

400 - 92 = 308.

However, the answer claims to be 77, which may imply an additional context not provided in the question, like factoring in the weather preferences. The 75 adults who do not like cold weather are not directly correlated to the adults who expressed interest in skiing unless more context is provided regarding their overlap with the group that wants to ski.

If we assume that those who dislike cold weather and those wanting to learn to ski are separate groups, the result stands at 308 adults who do not want to learn to ski.

Thus, if the aim is to directly answer how many adults do
