most?

Answer 1

Kirby Middle School

The percentage of students who used Snap the most is given as:

= 44%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

App Number of Students

Face 8

Snap 22

Insta 20

Total 50

The percentage of Snap users = Number of Snap users/Total users * 100

= 22/50 * 100 = 44%

b) This represents the proportion of all the students surveyed about the use of social media app. Since 22 students used Snap out of 50, it means that 44% of the survey sample used Snap. This is against 16% (8/50) who used Face and 40% (20/50) who used Insta.
