For this, no math is even needed! The question says 1,000 people were interviewed. 42% percent of that 1,000 owns an SUV. If it's a percent, it is 42/100, right? Now we have to make that 42/100 out of 1000. We add a zero to the 100 on the bottom (42/1000). We do the same thing on the top. Add a zero! 420.
SECOND POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Solve this with logic! 42% is nearly 50%. Half of 1,000 is 500. What is closest to 500? 420! This solution is even easier.
Hope this helps you!
Hi,
The answer is c. The sample is biased.
This is because the sample is taken on a single state, an Rebecca reports a statistic about the nation. Her data contains information only of her state. If she lives in a very cold state, there is probably more homeowners using electric heat than in a hot state.
