Question

According to the histogram of travel times to work from the US 2000 census (Page 6 of "Journey to Work: 2000"), roughly what percentage of commuters travel more than 45 minutes?

Answer 1

Histograms are used to represent data, where the length of each bar represents the frequency of the data element

The histogram is not given; So, I will give a general explanation.

Assume that the number of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is 450, while the total number of commuters surveyed is 500.

The percentage of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is the quotient of the commuters that travel more than 45 minutes and the total number of surveyed commuters.

So, we have:

$\%Percentage = \frac{450}{500}$

Divide 450 by 500

$\%Percentage = 0.9$

Express as percentage

$\%Percentage = 90\%$

Hence, the percentage of commuters that travel more than 45 minutes is 90%
