The points scored by a football team are 17, 23, 15, 21, 7, and 13. What is the range?
___ points
The range is 16 points.
To find the range, you subtract the lowest value from the highest value. In this case, the lowest value is 7 and the highest value is 23.
Range = 23 - 7 = 16.
To find the range, you need to subtract the smallest value from the largest value in a set of data. In this case, the smallest point scored by the team is 7 and the largest point scored is 23.
Range = Largest value - Smallest value
Range = 23 - 7
Range = 16
Therefore, the range of points scored by the football team is 16 points.
To find the percentage of residents who would vote for Candidate A, we need to add up the number of people who voted for Candidate A in both samples and then divide by the total number of residents polled.
The total number of residents polled is:
500 (Sample 1) + 500 (Sample 2) = 1000
The total number of votes for Candidate A is:
346 (Sample 1) + 248 (Sample 2) = 594
To find the percentage, we divide the total number of votes for Candidate A by the total number of residents polled and then multiply by 100:
(594 รท 1000) x 100 = 59.4%
Therefore, approximately 59.4% of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor.
A poll is conducted to determine who is most likely to win the election for town mayor. Two random samples of 500 residents each are polled. The data is as follows.
Candidate A Candidate B Total
Sample 1 346 154 500
Sample 2 248 252 500
What percentage of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor?
___%
