Given

See attachment

Required

Number of households without computer in 2009

From the attachment, we have:

$n=5170000$ --- survey

$p = 22.3\%$ --- proportion without computer

So, the actual number is:

$Number = p * n$

$Number = 22.3\% * 5170000$

$Number = 1152910$

$Number \approx 1153000$
