D In a group of $100$ students, it is expected that around $6$ students will value classes the most.

E In a group of $200$ students, it is expected that $20$ students will value study areas the most, and $20$ students will value movies the most.

Answer 1

E

Explanation:

If you break each classification of what items metter most you get the following percentahes:

Books 48%

Study Areas 5%

Classes 6%

Movies 20%

A - you could make an argument that this MAY be an accurate reflection but the percentage does not bring 15% into the data so this seems like conjecture.

B - Data suggest a higher support for books at 48%

C - Data suggest 1 or two in a group of 25 would answer study areas
