Based on the tables showing the average number of children per household for two different communities, which community has the most children if both neighborhoods have the same number of households? How many children live in this community if 1,000 households
Based on the tables, the average number of children per household in Community A is 2.6, while the average number of children per household in Community B is 2.5. Therefore, if both neighborhoods have the same number of households (1,000), Community A would have the most children.
In Community A, with an average of 2.6 children per household, the total number of children living in this community if there are 1,000 households would be 1,000 households * 2.6 children/household = 2,600 children.
To determine which community has the most children if both neighborhoods have the same number of households, we need to calculate the average number of children per household for each community and compare them.
For Community A:
Average number of children per household = Total Number of Children / Number of Households
For the given data in Community A:
Average number of children per household in Community A for 10 households = 26 / 10 = 2.6
Average number of children per household in Community A for 20 households = 52 / 20 = 2.6
Average number of children per household in Community A for 40 households = 104 / 40 = 2.6
Average number of children per household in Community A for 75 households = 195 / 75 = 2.6
For Community B:
Average number of children per household = Total Number of Children / Number of Households
For the given data in Community B:
Average number of children per household in Community B for 12 households = 30 / 12 = 2.5
Average number of children per household in Community B for 24 households = 60 / 24 = 2.5
Average number of children per household in Community B for 50 households = 125 / 50 = 2.5
Average number of children per household in Community B for 85 households = 212.5 / 85 = 2.5
Now, for the comparison:
Community A has an average of 2.6 children per household, while Community B has an average of 2.5 children per household.
To find out how many children live in Community A if there are 1,000 households, we multiply the average number of children per household by the number of households:
Number of children in Community A = Average number of children per household * Number of households
= 2.6 * 1000
= 2600
Therefore, if there are 1,000 households in each community, Community A would have the most children, with a total of 2,600 children.
To figure out which community has the most children if both neighborhoods have the same number of households, we need to calculate the average number of children per household in each community.
For Community A, we can calculate the average number of children per household by dividing the total number of children by the number of households. Let's do this for each data point:
Average number of children per household in Community A:
For 10 households: 26 children / 10 households = 2.6 children per household
For 20 households: 52 children / 20 households = 2.6 children per household
For 40 households: 104 children / 40 households = 2.6 children per household
For 75 households: 195 children / 75 households = 2.6 children per household
Therefore, the average number of children per household in Community A is 2.6.
Now, let's do the same calculation for Community B:
Average number of children per household in Community B:
For 12 households: 30 children / 12 households = 2.5 children per household
For 24 households: 60 children / 24 households = 2.5 children per household
For 50 households: 125 children / 50 households = 2.5 children per household
For 85 households: 212.5 children / 85 households = 2.5 children per household
Therefore, the average number of children per household in Community B is 2.5.
Now, let's assume there are 1,000 households in each community and calculate the total number of children in each community:
Total number of children in Community A with 1,000 households:
2.6 children per household * 1,000 households = 2,600 children
Total number of children in Community B with 1,000 households:
2.5 children per household * 1,000 households = 2,500 children
Therefore, if both neighborhoods have the same number of households (1,000 households), Community A would have the most children with 2,600 children residing in that community.
