Question

While her husband spent 2½ hours picking out new speakers, a statistician decided to determine whether the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is higher than the percent of women who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment. The population was Saturday afternoon shoppers. Out of 67 men, 24 said they enjoyed the activity. Eight of the 24 women surveyed claimed to enjoy the activity. Interpret the results of the survey.

Answer 1

Answer:

Men can be concluded to enjoy shopping electronic activity more than women, but in weekend days. The case might not hold true for week working days also.

Step-by-step explanation:

To study :  whether the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is higher than the percent of women who enjoy that.

• Out of 67 men, 24 said they enjoyed the activity

So, % of men enjoying the activity  = (24 / 67) x 100

= 35.82%

Out of 24 women, 8 said that they enjoyed the activity

So, % of women enjoying the activity = (8 / 24) x 100

= 33.33%
