PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Look at your original data. Figure out percentages for the sports. Now what would you do?
How do i find percentages ?
total of category/total of all categories Use those to predict how many of the 80 will do the same thing.
im bad at guessing
NO guessing. For example: If 5% of the 200 like scuba diving then 5% of the 80 might like scuba diving so.... .05 * 80 = 4. We could predict 4 of the 80 would like scuba diving.
so basketball could have what 62 %
Proportion way: \[\frac{ 10 scuba }{ 200askedl } = \frac{ x }{ 80asked }\] cross multiply and solve
or 35 %
@mrbarry
Check your work 75/200 for basketball and football 50/200
i dont get it :/
Solve this for me: \[\frac{ 75 }{200 }=\frac{ x }{ 80 }\] This represents basketball of the original to the predicted 80 folks.
do i cross multiply ?
You bet.
is it 60
200x = 6000 x=30
ugh im sorry im messing up so bad .
So it would be like this ? How many students of the next 80 asked will select basketball as their favorite sport? 30 students
I believe. Now can you do football for me?
How many students of the next 80 asked will select football as their favorite sport? 20 students
Excellent. Now finish it all up and remember our method.
thank yououorbfjibehsfbvehfe
its 10 right ?
The difference in the 80 group would be 10 30 - 20
