Answer 1

30%

Explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the percentage of students who are female and do not play instruments.

We can first infer this from the table;

The number of females who do not play instruments = 64

The percentage of females who do not play instruments = number of females who do not play instruments/total number of students surveyed * 100%

That will be;

64/213 * 100% = 30.04 which is approximately 30%
