Final answer:
a) Approximately 564 people ate in a fast-food restaurant 2 times a week. b) The total number of people surveyed is 1261. c) Less than half of the surveyed adults ate in a fast-food restaurant 3 times a week. d) The total number of people surveyed is 1261.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct statements are:
a) Approximately 564 people ate in a fast-food restaurant 2 times a week.
b) The total number of people surveyed is 1261.
c) Less than half of the surveyed adults ate in a fast-food restaurant 3 times a week.
d) The total number of people surveyed is 1261.
To determine if the statements are correct, let's analyze each one:
a) The survey reported that 44.9% of those surveyed ate in a fast-food restaurant 1 to 3 times each week. To find the approximate number of people who ate in a fast-food restaurant 2 times a week, we multiply the total number of people surveyed (1261) by the percentage of people who ate in a fast-food restaurant 2 times a week (44.9%). So, approximately 564 people ate in a fast-food restaurant 2 times a week.
b) The total number of people surveyed is given as 1261 adults in the question. So, this statement is true.
c) The survey reported that 44.9% of those surveyed ate in a fast-food restaurant 1 to 3 times each week. To determine if less than half of the surveyed adults ate in a fast-food restaurant 3 times a week, we need to compare the percentage of people who ate in a fast-food restaurant 3 times a week to 50%. Since 44.9% is less than 50%, this statement is true.
d) This statement simply repeats the information given in the question, stating that the total number of people surveyed is 1261. So, this statement is also true.
