Look at your original data. Figure out percentages for the sports. Now what would you do?

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

How do i find percentages ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

total of category/total of all categories Use those to predict how many of the 80 will do the same thing.

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

im bad at guessing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

so basketball could have what 62 %

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Proportion way: \[\frac{ 10 scuba }{ 200askedl } = \frac{ x }{ 80asked }\] cross multiply and solve

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

or 35 %

Check your work 75/200 for basketball and football 50/200

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

i dont get it :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve this for me: \[\frac{ 75 }{200 }=\frac{ x }{ 80 }\] This represents basketball of the original to the predicted 80 folks.

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

do i cross multiply ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You bet.

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

is it 60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200x = 6000 x=30

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

ugh im sorry im messing up so bad .

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

So it would be like this ? How many students of the next 80 asked will select basketball as their favorite sport? 30 students

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe. Now can you do football for me?

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

How many students of the next 80 asked will select football as their favorite sport? 20 students

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Excellent. Now finish it all up and remember our method.

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

thank yououorbfjibehsfbvehfe

OpenStudy (boobear7411):

its 10 right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The difference in the 80 group would be 10 30 - 20
