Question

Find the percentages of people who said​ "yes, definitely",​ "yes, probably",​ "no, probably​ not", and​ "no, definitely​ not".

Answer 1

yes,def=(2399/3713)x100=64.61%

yes,probably= (774/3713)x100=20.85%

yes,probably no= (322/3713)x100=8.67%

yes,def.no= (218/3713)x100=5.87%

Explanation:

Data given

We assume the following frequency table:

Type Frequency

Yes, definitely 2399

Yes, probably 774

No, probably not 322

No, probably not 218

Total 3713

Solution to the problem

And for this case in order to find the percentages we can use the definition of percentage frequency with the following formula:

`\% = (Number of people with characteristic)/(Total) x100`

And using this formula we can find the percentages like this:

yes,def=(2399/3713)x100=64.61%

yes,probably= (774/3713)x100=20.85%

yes,probably no= (322/3713)x100=8.67%

yes,def.no= (218/3713)x100=5.87%
