Question

If 32.9% of the 2,700,000 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census, how many people would this be?

Answer 1

Answer:

888300 people.

Step by step explanation:

We have been given that 32.9% of the 2,700,000 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.

Let us find 32.9% of 2,700,000.

$\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=\frac{32.9}{100}\times 2700000$

$\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=32.9\times 27000$

$\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=888300$

Therefore, 888300 people in the 2010 census are African American.

Answer 2

Answer: 888,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 32.9% of the 2,700,000 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.

i.e. Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census : p=0.329

Now, the number of students are planning to attend college will be :

$p\times\text{ Total Chicago residents}\\\\=0.329\times2700000=888300$

Hence, 888,300 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.
