Question

A book club has 200 members

each member was asked whether he or she prefers fiction or nonfiction books
the results are shown below

Answer 1

so these are decmials of the accutal total so

.32=32%
what makes this question easy is that there are 200 members so to convert the percents into accutall numbers so like .32=32%=64 people (since 200 is 2 times of 100)

A. fiction of 31-40 compared to 21-30
fiction 31-40=.38=38%=76 readers
fiction 21-30=.32=32%=64 readers
76-64=12
A is FALSE

B. so we want to know how many people are 31-40 and prefer fiction
so .38=38% and 38% of 200=76
B is FALSE

C 43 members are 21-30
so we look at the total row for the 21-30 people and see that .43 or 43% or 86 people are in the 21-30 age group
C is FALSE

D. 140 members prefer fiction
look at the total column for fiction and see that .70 like fiction .70=70%=140 people
D is TRUE

so A,B,C are FALSE
D is TRUE
