Answer 1

Answer: The proportion of businesses who did not respond = 54.67%

Explanation:

Given : Total businesses = 150

Businesses responded = 68

Businesses did not respond = 150- 68 = 82

The proportion of businesses who did not respond =

`\frac{\text{Businesses did not respond}}{\text{Total businesses}}*100`

`=(82)/(150)*100=54.67\%`

Hence, the proportion of businesses who did not respond = 54.67%
