Question

According to a survey, 31% of Americans would try bacon-flavored bubble gum. If a sample of 300 Americans is selected, find the mean number of them that would try bacon-flavored bubble gum.

Answer 1

bacon-flavoredSOLUTION

From the question, we are told that 31% of the American population would try bacon flavored bubble gum. This 31% gives an idea of the average number of Americans that would try the gum.

Since "mean" refers to average, we have to find 31% of 300

`\begin{gathered} \text{Mean }=(31)/(100)*300 \\ \\ \text{Mean = 31}*3 \\ \text{Mean = 93} \end{gathered}`
