Question

Recently an advertising company called 200 people and asked them to identify the company that was in an ad running nationwide. The following results were obtained.What percentage of those surveyed could not correctly recall the company?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Percentage = 41.5 \%$

Explanation:

Given

Total = 200

See Attachment for other given parameters

First, we need to determine the total number of people who incorrectly recalled the company

In the second row, we have:

Male = 45

Female = 38

Add this up;

$Incorrectly\ Recalled = 45 + 38$

$Incorrectly\ Recalled= 83$

Next, is to divide the calculated number of incorrectly recalled by the total number of people

$Percentage = \frac{Incorrectly\ Recalled}{Total}$

$Percentage = \frac{83}{200}$

$Percentage = 0.415$

Multiply by 100% to give result in percentage

$Percentage = 0.415 * 100\%$

$Percentage = 41.5 \%$

Hence, the percentage of incorrectly recalled is 41.5%
