In the state of Indiana, 192,031 people claim not to speak English very well. If this is 3.2% of the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older, estimate the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older. (round to the nearest person)
If 30.6 out of every 100 pregnant women in Indiana
deliver their babies by C-Section, how many pregnan
t women
out of 83,900 would be expected to deliver by C-Section? (round to the nearest woman)
To estimate the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older, we can use the given information that 3.2% claim not to speak English very well.
Let's set up an equation to solve for the population:
3.2% of the population = 192,031
To find the total population, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.032 (since 3.2% is equivalent to 0.032):
Population = 192,031 ÷ 0.032
Population ≈ 6,000,968.75 (rounded to the nearest person)
Therefore, the estimated population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older is approximately 6,000,969 people.
To estimate the population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older, we can use the given information that 192,031 people claim not to speak English very well, which corresponds to 3.2% of the population.
To find the estimated population, we can set up a proportion. Let's call the population we are trying to find "x". The proportion can be set up as:
(192,031)/(x) = 3.2/100
To solve for "x", we can cross multiply and then divide:
(192,031 * 100) / 3.2 = x
6,144,344.375 = x
Rounding to the nearest person, the estimated population of Indiana residents aged 5 years and older is approximately 6,144,344 people.
192,031 / 3.2 = 1% of the population
=60,009.6875
60,009.6875*100=total population
=6,000,969 people in Indiana
