Question

A record label surveyed 150 random visitors to its website to discover whether they prefer metal, rock, hip-hop, or jazz. The survey showed that 27 visitors preferred metal, 78 preferred rock, 21 voted for hip-hop, and 24 liked jazz. If the company estimates sales of 6,000 copies a week at its online store, how many will likely be from the rock genre?
1,040
3,000
3,120
4,200

Answer 1

Answer:      C is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Probability (rock) :

78 / 150 = 13/25 = 52%

Rock is preferred by 52% of the 150 visitors that were surveyed

To find how many people will likely sell from the rock genre, you need to find 52% of the estimated sales (6,000 copies).

      52% • 6000 = 3,120

Answer: C. 3,120
