Veterinarians suspect that enteroliths (calcifications in the gut of horses) are related to diet-in particular, alfalfa. To investigate this suspicion, a group of veterinarians collected information on the diet of horses and whether the horses developed enteroliths. The table below displays the findings (a case is a horse with enteroliths, a control is without enteroliths). The probability that a randomly selected horse gets more than 50% alfalfa is:
A)0.33.
B)0.5.
C)0.8.
D)0.23.
