Answer 1

Answer:

60 ; 5220

Step-by-step explanation:

A) From the horizontal bar chart provided, it could be inferred that 85 people spell the word 'weird' correctly. The graph is scaled on a fixed interval of 10. Hence, the midpoint of 10 = 5

(80 + 5) = 85

B) In a group consisting of 8719 randomly selected people estimate how many more people can correctly spell weird than inoculate

From the graph :

85 per 100 could spell weird correctly while,

About 25 per 100 could spell inoculate correctly.

Difference In number per 100 people

(85 - 25) = 60 people per 100

We could round 8719 to the nearest 100 = 8700

Number of 100's in 8700 = 8700/100 = 87

(87 × 60) = 5,220 people
