Question

The bar graph below displays the proportion of residents in an apartment complex who prefer certain social media sites. A bar graph titled social media preferences has platform on the x-axis and relative frequency on the y-axis. Upstart, 0.10; Aster, 0.26; Babble, 0.30; Techy, 0.35. Which of the following statements is not true?

1) Fewer residents use Aster than Babble.
2) More residents use Babble than Upstart.
3) Twice as many residents use Techy than use Upstart.
4) More residents use Techy than any of the other three.

Answer 1

The statement that twice as many residents use Techy as use Upstart is false, because twice 0.10 (Upstart) is 0.20, which is not equal to 0.35 (Techy).

Step-by-step explanation:

The bar graph displays the proportion of residents who prefer certain social media sites, with Upstart at 0.10, Aster at 0.26, Babble at 0.30, and Techy at 0.35. To identify which statement is not true, we compare the given proportions.

1. Fewer residents use Aster than Babble - This is true as 0.26 (Aster) is less than 0.30 (Babble).
2. More residents use Babble than Upstart - This is true, because 0.30 (Babble) is greater than 0.10 (Upstart).
3. Twice as many residents use Techy than use Upstart - This statement is not true since twice 0.10 is 0.20, not 0.35 (Techy).
4. More residents use Techy than any of the other three - This is true because 0.35 (Techy) is the highest value among the options.

Hence, the statement that is not true is that twice as many residents use Techy than use Upstart.
