Which is true based on the circle graph if four hundred college students were surveyed? Less than half of the students spend an average of at least 4 hours per week on homework for one class. 5 students spend an average of two hours per week or less on homework for one class. Less than one-third of the students spend an average of between 2 and 4 hours per week on homework for one class. fifty students spend an average of more than six hours per week on homework for one class.

Directrix (directrix):

On the diagram, I cannot read that color chart with 0-2 hours and all that. So, I need you to post what that says.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok "A circle graph titled Average Weekly Homework Time Per Class is shown. The first section shows five percent spend and average of zero to two hours per week on homework. The next section shows twenty-five percent spend and average of two to four hours per week on homework. The next section shows fifty-five percent spend and average of four to six hours per week on homework. The last section shows fifteen percent spend and average of more than six hours per week on homework.

Directrix (directrix):

I need the colors. What color goes with 0 to 2 hours, what color goes with 2 to 4 hours, what color goes with 4 to 6 hours, what color goes with >6 hours?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

blue for 0-2 hours purple for 2-4 hours cream color for 4-6 hours mint green for 6 hours

Directrix (directrix):

Thanks.

Directrix (directrix):

Looking at the options, I think we should crank out how many people are in each colored sector.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Directrix (directrix):

There are 400 people who were surveyed. Let's get the blues. What is 5% of 400?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 20

Directrix (directrix):

Good. Go ahead and crank out 15% of 400, 25% of 400, and 55% of 400. Then, I'll write that info on the chart, and we can look at the options. Okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok 15 % of 400 is 60 25% of 400 is 100 And 55% of 400 is 220

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i correct

Directrix (directrix):

Cool.

Directrix (directrix):

Now, look at the options. See if you can eliminate one of them, okay. Consult the people count image I just uploaded to make the decision.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i think i know the answer is it the first one That is true

Directrix (directrix):

Let me look.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my reasoning: 100 is less than 400

Directrix (directrix):

What about this: Less than one-third of the students spend an average of between 2 and 4 hours per week on homework for one class. 100 < (1/3)* 400 Isn't that true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG that is also true

Directrix (directrix):

>>my reasoning: 100 is less than 400 I don't concur because at least 4 means 4 or greater.

Directrix (directrix):

Add the tans and the mint greens to get the total for those who study an average of 4 hours or more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

Directrix (directrix):

Less than half of the students spend an average of at least 4 hours per week on homework for one class. Is 60 + 220 < (1/2)*400

Directrix (directrix):

at least 4 hours means 4 hours and more than 4 hours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no because 60 + 220 is 280 and 1/2 * 400 is 200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not for that last thing u said

Directrix (directrix):

What thing is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what thing??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh Is 60 + 220 < (1/2)*400

Directrix (directrix):

fifty students spend an average of more than six hours per week on homework for one class. Not true but would have been if it had said "at least 50"

Directrix (directrix):

>>oh Is 60 + 220 < (1/2)*400 No on that. So, what is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Less than one-third of the students spend an average of between 2 and 4 hours per week on homework for one class.

Directrix (directrix):

5 students spend an average of two hours per week or less on homework for one class. Wrong.

Directrix (directrix):

I agree. Less than one-third of the students spend an average of between 2 and 4 hours per week on homework for one class

OpenStudy (anonymous):
