Answer 1

The records of a computer retail store  show that out of the 25 customers who purchased a desktop computer last month, all but 6 that means 19 purchased a service plan that extends the warranty for an extra year. Out of the 50 customers who purchased a notebook computer last month, all but 18 purchased that means 32 purchased the same service plan.

Here percentage of desktop computer buyers who purchased service plan = 19/25 * 100 = 76%

percentage of notebook computer buyers who purchased service plan = 32/50 * 100 = 64%

so here last month, customers of the store who purchased desktop computers were more likely to purchase service plan because, % of desktop computer buyers purchased the service plan is 76%, whereas only 64% customers who bought note book computers have service plans.
