Question

Last year, 56% of business owners gave a holiday gift to their employees. A survey of business owners indicated that 60% plan to give a holiday gift to their employees. Suppose the survey results are based on a sample of 90 business owners.

a. How many owners in the survey plan to provide a gift to their employees?

Answer 1

To determine how many owners in the survey plan to provide a gift to their employees, multiply the percentage from the survey by the total number of business owners in the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of owners in the survey who plan to provide a gift to their employees, we can multiply the percentage from the survey by the total number of business owners in the sample. First, we calculate 60% of 90 business owners:

60% of 90 = 0.6 * 90 = 54 owners

Therefore, 54 owners in the survey plan to provide a gift to their employees.
