Medal The histogram below is based on data from the American Automobile Manufacturers Association. It shows the ages of a sample of 1000 cars in a typical city in the United States. Find the ratio of the number of cars between 3 and 6 years old to the total number of cars. (Enter your answer as a fraction.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many cars are within that 3-6yr range?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that number over your total number (sample size). Do you need to further simplify the fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I don't think the value is 360..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

170 + 190 = 360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why are you adding the cars younger than three years?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you only look at year 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want the cars greater than/equal to 3yrs old and cars less than/equal to 6yrs old - so the green bar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

190- 170

OpenStudy (anonymous):

....uh, no BETWEEN 3 and 6 years - bound is [3,6]. All the cars within those bounds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

190

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There ya go, now what is your total value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would your ratio be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

190:1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Problem wants it in fraction form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

190/1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There you go - don't know whether you need it simplified, so see the directions of the question

ok thank you :)
