suppose 60 people are asked which method is best to avoid getting the flu. the results are shown in the table below. determine the percentage for each method and complete the table. round to the nearest whole number.
Method Frequency %
Flu shot 15
washing hands 36
taking vitamins 7
eating healthy foods 2
Ir's a total of 60%. (I wonder how the others voted.)
0.6 * 60 = 36
If a pie chart was created using the data from the table above, which selection of the chart would be the largest? the smallest? indicate the relative frequency amount as a decimal for both
The largest section would be the 40% that's not accounted for in the above statistics.
The smallest would be 2%.
Divide the percentages by 100 to get the decimal equivalents.
To determine the percentage for each method, you need to calculate the proportion of people who chose each method out of the total number of people surveyed.
First, calculate the total number of people surveyed:
Total = Flu shot + washing hands + taking vitamins + eating healthy foods
Total = 15 + 36 + 7 + 2
Total = 60
Next, calculate the percentage for each method by dividing the frequency of each method by the total and multiplying by 100:
Percentage of Flu shot = (Flu shot / Total) * 100
Percentage of Flu shot = (15 / 60) * 100
Percentage of Flu shot = 25%
Percentage of washing hands = (washing hands / Total) * 100
Percentage of washing hands = (36 / 60) * 100
Percentage of washing hands = 60%
Percentage of taking vitamins = (taking vitamins / Total) * 100
Percentage of taking vitamins = (7 / 60) * 100
Percentage of taking vitamins = 12%
Percentage of eating healthy foods = (eating healthy foods / Total) * 100
Percentage of eating healthy foods = (2 / 60) * 100
Percentage of eating healthy foods = 3%
Completing the table:
Method Frequency %
Flu shot 15 25%
washing hands 36 60%
taking vitamins 7 12%
eating healthy foods 2 3%
