Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine the number of students who would be expected not to eat breakfast every day based on the survey results, we can use proportions.

The survey found that 32% of the 75 students surveyed eat breakfast every day. This means that 68% (100% - 32%) do not eat breakfast every day.

To find out how many of the school's 600 students would be expected not to eat breakfast every day, we can calculate:

Expected number of students not eating breakfast = 68% of 600

= (68/100) * 600

= 408

Therefore, based on the survey results, it would be expected that 408 students out of the school's 600 students would not eat breakfast every day.

The correct answer choice is K. 408.
