The fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

Since there are six essays and each student is required to write an essay on one of the six topics, the probability of choosing one of the six topic is

P(one topic) = one topic/total number of topics

= 1/6.

Since we have 100 students, the fewest number of students that could choose the topic selected by most students is

n = Probability of selecting one topic × total number of students

= P(one topic) × 100

= 1/6 × 100

= 16.67

≅ 17 students.

So, the fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

Round each amount to the nearest hundred to find an estimate of 9635-4891
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

4700

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding to 100: Look at the tenth value. If this value is greater than or equal to 5, round up. If this value is less than 5, round down.

9635 = 9600

4891 = 4900

9600 - 4900 = 4700

You can check if it's accurate by comparing it to the original.

9635 - 4700 = 4744
