divide the number of people who won the audio device by the total number of winners, then convert it to a percentage. Considering we are supposed to imagine that this actually happened, do you think it should be "theoretical" or "experimental"?
OpenStudy (ajanijones):
I think it should be experimental.
OpenStudy (turingtest):
correct
OpenStudy (ajanijones):

@TuringTest
OpenStudy (turingtest):
how did you get 119?
OpenStudy (ajanijones):
I divided 238 by 2
OpenStudy (turingtest):
you want to divide the number who won an audio device by the total number of winners
OpenStudy (ajanijones):
thats what i did 238 is total and 2 people won the audio device so 238 dived by 2 = 119

Oh ops.
OpenStudy (ajanijones):
I got 0.008
OpenStudy (ajanijones):
which would be 8%
OpenStudy (ajanijones):
So my answer is B. because 0.008 converted in to percent is 8%
OpenStudy (turingtest):
is it?
