Question

A marketing firm conducted 636 surveys to analyze customer satisfaction. The firm has 12 analyses to measure the service. If the surveys are evenly distributed among the analyses, how many surveys will each analysis receive?

a) 42 surveys
b) 52 surveys
c) 62 surveys
d) 72 surveys

Answer 1

After dividing the total surveys (636) by the number of analyses (12), each analysis should receive 53 surveys. However, given that 53 is not an option and we're assuming a typo, the closest correct option is 52 surveys, which is option (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many surveys each analysis will receive, we need to divide the total number of surveys by the number of analyses. Since the firm conducted 636 surveys and there are 12 analyses, we do the following calculation:

636 surveys ÷ 12 analyses = 53 surveys per analysis.

Thus, each analysis will receive 53 surveys.

However, since 53 is not one of the provided options and it's clear that we are looking for a whole number result, we may have a typo in the question itself.

Based on the given options, we would expect that there has been a miscalculation or misprint, and the closest correct option would be 52 surveys per analysis, which is option (b).
