Question

At a high school, 9th and 10th graders were asked whether they would preferrobotics or art as an elective. The results are shown in the relative frequencytable. To the nearest percent, what percentage of 10th graders surveyed preferred robotics?

Answer 1

61%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total for 10th grade is 0.54 where 0.33 prefer robotics and 0.21 prefer art. So, we can calculate the percentage of 10th graders surveyed that prefer robotics as

0.33/0.54 = 0.6111

0.6111 as percentage is equal to

0.6111 x 100% = 61.11%

So, the answer to the nearest percentage is 61%
