Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this set of data: Age of professors in years

47, 44, 48, 43, 35, 65, 56, 37, 73,51

We can firstly rearrange the years properly in ascending order.

Hence we have:

35, 37, 43, 44, 48, 51, 53 56, 65, 73

The number of the professor given = 10 professors

The number of professors younger 50 years = 5

Therefore, the percentage of these professors who are younger than 50

Is:

5/10 × 100 = 50%

Therefore, 50% of the professors are younger than 50
