Question

class is 96 percent. If there are 29 classes during the semester, what is the best estimate of the number of times out of 29 that Josslyn is on time to class? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

Answer: If Josslyn's attendance rate is 96%, then she is on time for 0.96 x 29 = 27.84 classes, on average.

Since we can't have a fractional number of attendances, we should round this to the nearest integer.

Thus, the best estimate of the number of times Josslyn is on time to class is 28.
