Question

6. A survey showed that 24% of a nursery's mail-order customers spent more than $200 on plants each spring. Predict how many of 145,000 mail-order customers will spend less than $200 on plants next spring.

Answer 1

110,200

Explanation:

24% spends more than 200, so

100 - 24 = 76% spends less than 200.

If there are 145,000 mail order customers, we can expect 76% of them to spend LESS THAN $200. So,

145,000 * 0.76 = 110,200 customers
