A survey showed that 56% of car owners prefer four-door cars, 31% prefer two-door cars, and 13% have no preference. You ask 300 people. How many do you think will prefer four-door cars? (1 point)
218 people
168 people
233 people
68 people
The correct answer is 168 people.
To calculate this, first find the total percentage of people who prefer four-door cars and then multiply that by the total number of people surveyed:
56% (who prefer four-door cars) x 300 (total surveyed) = 0.56 * 300 = 168
Therefore, approximately 168 people out of the 300 surveyed would prefer four-door cars.
To calculate the number of people who prefer four-door cars, we first need to find the proportion of car owners who prefer four-door cars. In this case, the survey shows that 56% of car owners prefer four-door cars.
To find the number of people who prefer four-door cars, we can multiply the proportion by the total number of people surveyed.
Number of people who prefer four-door cars = 56% * 300
To calculate this, we multiply 56% by 300:
Number of people who prefer four-door cars = (56/100) * 300
Simplifying this calculation:
Number of people who prefer four-door cars = (56 * 300) / 100
Multiplying 56 by 300 gives us:
Number of people who prefer four-door cars = 16800 / 100
Simplifying the division of 16800 by 100:
Number of people who prefer four-door cars = 168
Therefore, the correct answer is:
168 people.
