Answer:

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of people total by p. Then:

(5/8)p = c = the number of children

Since there are 20 children on the hike, (5/8)p must equal 20:

(5/8)p = 20

Solve for p by multiplying both sides by (8/5):

(8/5)(5/8)p = 20(8/5), or

p = 32

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

response error.

Step-by-step explanation:

A response error shows the lack of accuracy in the customer responses to the survey questions. A response error can be caused by a questionnaire that requires framing improvements, misinterpretation of questions by interviewers or respondents, and errors in respondents' statements. Some responses are influenced by the answers provided to previous questions, which introduces response bias.
