A ) 4571
B ) 4371
C ) 4271
D ) 4671

Steps to derive

1 Total number of families surveyed = 84 + 22 + 22 + 4 + 10 = 142

2 Number of families, whose favorite spot is Paris = 84

3 P(families whose favorite spot is Paris) = (number of families whose favorite spot is Paris) / (total number of families surveyed)

 [Substitute and simplify.]
4 84142 = 4271

5 Experimental probability of a family, whose favorite vacation spot is Paris is 4271.
