To fill in the blanks in the given conclusions based on the data in the table, let's proceed with the step-by-step reasoning:

1. Given a person who has eaten snack A before:
- According to the data, among those who have eaten snack A before, 144 out of 236 participants prefer snack A.
- This is a probability of approximately 0.610 (or 61.02%).
- Therefore, given a person who has eaten snack A before, it is most likely that the customer will prefer snack A.

2. Given a person who has not eaten snack A before:
- Among those who have not eaten snack A before, 228 out of 336 participants prefer snack B.
- This is a probability of approximately 0.679 (or 67.86%).
- Consequently, given a person who has not eaten snack A before, it is most likely that the customer will want to eat snack B.

So the completed conclusions will be:

- Given a person who has eaten snack A before, the customer will prefer snack A.
- Given a person who has not eaten snack A before, the customer will want to eat snack B.
