Question

The table shows the results of a survey of students. The survey asked the students whether they have a job and whether they have a car.
What percentage of the students in the survey have a car? (data shown in table)

Answer 1

Answer:

E. 64%

Step-by-step explanation:

The table above is a two-way frequency table which consists of two variables - job status of students and their car ownership.

The columns of the table shows whether job status of the students, whether they have a job or not, while the rows shows us whether the student has a car or not.

From the table, the cell that has 94, tells us the total number of students that were surveyed.

The number of students that have a car is represented by the first row = 38 + 22 = 60 students.

% of students in the survey who have a car = no. of students who have a car ÷ total number of students surveyed × 100%

= 60/94 × 100 = 63.8 ≈ 64%.
