Question

Who are the heights in inches of 10 students in a seminar 6563 6662 5969 6960 7068 what is the percentage of the students who are shorter than 61 inches

Answer 1

`Percentage = 20\%`

Explanation:

Given

`Heights: 65\ 63\ 66\ 62\ 59\ 69\ 69\ 60\ 70\ 68`

`Total = 10`

Required

Determine the percentage of those shorter than 61

To do this, we need to get the number of those that fall in this category:

`Shorter\ than\ 61:\ 59\ 60`

`Number = 2`

The percentage is then calculated as thus:

`Percentage = (Number)/(Total) * 100\%`

`Percentage = (2)/(10) * 100\%`

`Percentage = (200\%)/(10)`

`Percentage = 20\%`
