Question

In Martin's class of 20 students, 4 students report that social studies is their favorite class and 75% of the students report that PE is their favorite class. Show your work to explain how to determine whether more students prefer social studies or PE.

Answer 1

Answer:

More student's prefer PE. See numbers below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You have to assume that the choices are mutually exclusive. That means that if a student likes PE he can't choose Social Studies. If he likes Social Studies best then he doesn't like PE best.

Begin by finding out what 75% of the students are.

75/100 * 20 = 75 * 20/100 = 1500/100 = 15.

Fifteen students prefer PE. Only 4 like Social Studies.

15 > 4
