50% =
0.5 =
50/100 =
1/2
This cannot be written as an improper fraction
3/9 reduces to 1/3 (divide both parts by the GCF 3)
Then use long division to divide 1/3
See attached of what I mean
Which is why
The '3's in 0.333 will go on forever

Answer:
4 people name chocolate
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first understand the given information.
The survey shows that 40 percent of a finite number of people name chocolate as their favorite flavor of ice cream. Because the survey is reporting a percentage, then 40% means that from 100 people 40 people name chocolate, while the others name a different type of flavor.
Dividing the total of people (100) by the ones who name chocolate (40) then we have:
100/40 = 2.5
Through the above equation we are actually expressing the following:
Total people = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)
Using this equation if we have now 12 people:
12 = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)
12/2.5 = (people who name chocolate flavor)
4.8 = people who chose chocolate flavor
Because we can't have 0.8 of a person, then if we have a sample of 12 people, we will expect that 4 of them name chocolate.
For a two-tailed test we need to halve 0.01, giving 0.005. Then we need to sutract 0.005 from 0.5, giving 0.5 - 0.005 = 0.495. Looking up the p value of 0.495 in an inverse normal probability table we obtain the value z = 2.5758. Therefore the critical values are -2.5758 and 2.5758.
