Bot GPT 3.5 · Answer

To calculate the number of people who would be expected to be influenced by gas prices in a sample of 500 people, we need to multiply the percentage of people who say gas prices affect their vehicle choice (39%) by the total number of people in the sample (500): Number of people influenced = 39% * 500 Number of people influenced = 0.39 * 500 Number of people influenced = 195 Therefore, we would expect approximately 195 people to be influenced by gas prices in a sample of 500 people.
