To determine the proportion of customers who shopped at the store because of the merchandise or the convenience, we need to add the percentages of those two categories together. From the bar chart, we can see that 30% of customers selected "good merchandise selection" and 35% selected "convenient location". Adding these percentages together gives us 65%, which is the proportion of customers who shopped at the store because of the merchandise or the convenience. Therefore, the answer is C) 65%. To determine the proportion of customers who shopped at the store because of merchandise or convenience, we need to add the percentages for those two categories, which are 20% and 45%, respectively. Adding those percentages gives 65%, which is the proportion of customers who selected the store based on merchandise or convenience. Therefore, the correct answer is C)65%.
