Based on the resultsshown in the table above, how manyof those seventh-grade studentswould you expect to be left-handed?A 60B 72C 84D 120

Answer 1

C. 84

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will calculate the percentage of left-handed students in the group of 60 that the teacher asked.

So, the percentage is equal to:

`(18)/(60)*100\text{ \% = 30\%}`

Therefore, 30% of the randomly selected students are left-handed.

Now, we can use this percentage to estimate the number of left-handed students in the group of 280.

Then, 30% of 280 is equal to:

`30\text{ \% }*280=(30)/(100)*280=84`

So, the answer is C. 84.
