Question 2 options:

467


934


2335


9340

Answer 1

0.2 * 46700 = 9340

So 9340 is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer : The number of people that live in the west region are, 9340

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that the probability that a person randomly selected lives in the west region is, 0.2

The number of resident in the city = 46700

Let the number of people that live in the west region be, 'x'

So,

x = Number of resident in the city × Probability that a person randomly selected lives in the west region

`x=46700* 0.2`

`x=9340`

Therefore, the number of people that live in the west region are, 9340
