Question

Here are the heights (in inches) of 12 students in a seminar:68, 61, 72, 66, 62, 64, 73, 70, 69, 65, 60, 74What is the percentage of these students who are shorter than 64 inches?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

To find the percentage of the students who are shorter than 64 inches, we have to divide the number of students shorter than 64 inches by the total number of student heights recorded and multiply by 100.

There are 3 students who are shorter than 64 inches and there are 12 students in total.

Therefore, the percentage is:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(12)*100 \\ \\ 25\% \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
