Question

As part of a class project, a university student surveyed students in the cafeteria to look for a relationship between the students’ eye color and hair color. The table contains the survey results.

The percentage of the sample population with brown eyes and black hair is larger than the percentage of the sample population with blue eyes and black hair by percentage points. (Round off your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

9/303 = 0.0297029703 or 3%

64/303 = 0.2112211221 or 21%

21% - 3% = 18% as the answer.

Answer 2

18

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 64 people with brown eyes and black hair out of 303 total people; this is 64/303 = 0.211 = 21.1%.

There are 9 people with blue eyes and black hair out of 303 total people; this is 9/303 = 0.0297 = 2.97%.

This is a difference of 21.1-2.97 = 18.13, or 18%.
