Definition
of probability, p= total no of favourable outcomes / total no of
outcomes. Here we need the probability that a randomly chosen
person uses either Internet explorer or chrome for browsing.
Therefore we took the total no of users who choose Internet
explorer + total no of users who choose chrome and divide the
quantity of total no of computer users surveyed. The answer we got
is 0.7 which is the option D.
