Members of the student government are planning a movie night on campus. They have asked a random sample of students which of four movies the students would prefer. Here are the results.
Movie Preferred Number of Students
Movie A
24
Movie B
23
Movie C
35
Movie D
30
There are
800
students total on campus.
Based on the above information, how many students on campus would we expect to prefer Movie C or Movie D? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.
To find out how many students on campus would we expect to prefer Movie C or Movie D, we need to add the number of students who preferred Movie C and the number of students who preferred Movie D.
Number of students who preferred Movie C = 35
Number of students who preferred Movie D = 30
Adding both numbers: 35 + 30 = 65
Therefore, we would expect approximately 65 students on campus to prefer Movie C or Movie D.
To determine how many students on campus would be expected to prefer Movie C or Movie D, we need to find the sum of the number of students who prefer Movie C and the number of students who prefer Movie D.
Given:
Number of students who prefer Movie C = 35
Number of students who prefer Movie D = 30
To find the total number of students who prefer either Movie C or Movie D, we sum the counts:
Total = 35 + 30 = 65
Therefore, we would expect approximately 65 students on campus to prefer Movie C or Movie D.
