Question

The two-way relative frequency table shows the relative frequencies of 9- and 10-year-olds who prefer Superhero A or B.

What percent of 9-year-olds prefer Superhero A?

Answer 1

The answer is 37.5% because to change a decimal to a percent, you move the decimal over 2 places to the right, and since the decimal is behind zero, it ends up between 7 and 5.

hopefully this helped you.

Answer 2

37.5%

Explanation:

The question asks for "the percent of 9-year olds who prefer Superhero A"

[Note: Since the table is given in terms of decimal, we will do the problem in decimal and later change to percentage]

• How many total 9-year olds are there?

Add the 9-year olds row. We have:

`0.375+0.625=1`

• Now, how many of those 9-year olds like Superhero A?

Look at the cell under Superhero A & beside 9-year old. We see that it is
`0.375`

So we would divide this by total, to get,

`(0.375)/(1)=0.375`

To convert decimal into percentage, we multiply the decimal with 100 and then tag along the "%" sign. Hence, we have:

`0.375*100=37.5`%
