Question

If 32.9% of the 2,700,000 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census, how many people would this be?

Answer 1

Answer: 888,300

Explanation:

Given : 32.9% of the 2,700,000 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.

i.e. Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census : p=0.329

Now, the number of students are planning to attend college will be :

`p*\text{ Total Chicago residents}\\\\=0.329*2700000=888300`

Hence, 888,300 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.

Answer 2

888300 people.

Step by step explanation:

We have been given that 32.9% of the 2,700,000 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.

Let us find 32.9% of 2,700,000.

`\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=(32.9)/(100)* 2700000`

`\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=32.9* 27000`

`\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=888300`

Therefore, 888300 people in the 2010 census are African American.
