Answer :

Let's solve each question step-by-step based on the given information.

### Question 9: How many people like tea more than coffee?

Given:
- Number of people who like tea = 114
- Number of people who like coffee = 48

To find how many people like tea more than coffee, we subtract the number of people who like coffee from those who like tea:
[tex]\[ \text{People who like tea more than coffee} = 114 - 48 = 66 \][/tex]

Thus, 66 people like tea more than coffee.

### Question 10: What is the difference in the percentage of people who like cold coffee and iced cold tea respectively?

Given:
- Percentage of people who like cold coffee = 12%
- Percentage of people who like iced cold tea = 5%

To find the difference between these percentages, we subtract the percentage of people who like iced cold tea from the percentage of people who like cold coffee:
[tex]\[ \text{Difference in percentage} = 12\% - 5\% = 7\% \][/tex]

Thus, the difference in the percentage of people who like cold coffee and iced cold tea is 7%.

### Question 11: Why do you think only 2% of the people take cool drinks? Give a reason.

It is given that only 2% of the people take cool drinks. A possible reason for this could be that cool drinks are less popular among people. This might be due to a variety of reasons such as taste preferences, health concerns, or availability compared to other beverages.

### Question 12: Given a chance to take one of the above mentioned beverages, which one would you prefer? Why?

Based on the given data, the majority of people prefer tea (57% or 114 people out of the total population). Therefore, if given a chance, I would prefer tea. This preference is influenced by the fact that the majority of people seem to enjoy tea, indicating it might be a popular and well-liked option.

In summary:
- People who like tea more than coffee = 66 people
- Difference in the percentage of people who like cold coffee and iced cold tea = 7%
- Reason for only 2% of people taking cool drinks = Cool drinks are less popular among people.
- Preferred beverage = Tea, because the majority of people prefer tea.
