Answer 3

Look at 3-5 hours, and the sample is from 100 students, and we have 62 students who play at least 3 - 5 hours a day. So that's 62%, just multiply 1200 by 62%.

Answer 4

yeah i did that and then divided it by 100 which gave me 744
but this is my 2nd attempt at doing this and 744 is not the correct answer

Answer 5

That's for just 3-5 hours, so now we need to add the other ones as well

Answer 6

We have to include 6-8 hour students as well, so you have to add them on top of the 744
