Question

Mr. Jones took a survey of college students and found that 60 out of 65 students are liberal arts majors. If a college has 8,943 students, what is the expected number of students who are liberal arts majors? Answer quick

Answer 1

We can expect 8255 numbers of students are liberal arts majors.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Number of students in the college = 8943

Now According to Mr. Jones Survey;

60 out of 65 students are liberal arts majors.

We need to find the number of students who are liberal arts majors out of total number of students in college.

Solution:

First we will find the Percentage number of students who are liberal arts majors according to survey.

Percentage number of students who are liberal arts majors can be calculated by dividing 60 from 65 then multiplying by 100.

framing above quote in equation form we get;

Percentage number of students who are liberal arts majors =
`(60)/(65)* 100 = 92.31\%`

Now we will find the Total number of students who are liberal arts major.

Total number of students who are liberal arts major can be calculated by Multiplying Percentage number of students who are liberal arts majors with total number of students in the college and then dividing by 100.

framing above quote in equation form we get;

Total number of students who are liberal arts major =
`(92.31)/(100)* 8493 \approx8255.28`

Since number of students cannot be in point, so we will round the value.

Hence We can expect 8255 numbers of students are liberal arts majors.
