Question

In a study of 900 adults, 45 out of the 325 men in the study said that they preferred to rent a movie on DVD rather than going out to a movie theater. What is the approximate percentage of men in this study who prefer to rent a movie on DVD

Answer 1

Answer:

$\%DVD = 14\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Population = 900$

$Sample = 325$ --- selected adults

$Proportion = 45$ --- those that prefer renting a movie

Required

Represent the proportion as a sample.

This is calculated as thus:

$\%DVD = \frac{Proportion}{Sample} * 100\%$

$\%DVD = \frac{45}{325} * 100\%$

$\%DVD = \frac{45 * 100}{325}\%$

$\%DVD = \frac{45 00}{325}\%$

$\%DVD = 13.85\%$

$\%DVD = 14\%$ --- approximated
